Great PvE Raid Ranged DPS?

Did the tank and melee dps thing on my warrior. Working on the healing aspect now. I tried my wife's mage for a while, but was underwhelming. I'm looking for a strong ranged class that does well on the charts. Nothing too complicated as far as rotation, just pure dps. Easy to level and not much responsibilities. Something of a side project during raid downtimes.
Was thinking about the following:
Hunter -
Pros: They are generally strong on the meters. Very easy to level, maybe a tad boring. Might be nifty to get some cool looking pets. Pretty decent abilities (feign death) and raid wanted.
Cons: Hard to gear? I rarely see much hunter drops in Naxx, and ranged weapons are a bit rare too.
Shadow Priest -
Pros: Decent to level after shadow form. Strong dps and AoE. Good raid buffs and mana utility. Always wanted for Naxx 25 and MC Instructor Rezuv's fight.
Cons: People expect you to heal? Have to fight all cloth wearers for drops? Not sure about rotation.
Shaman -
Pros: Decent to level up, but quicker as melee? Strong Elemental dps to begin with, I see strong raid numbers too. Simple raid dps rotation? Bloodlust!
Cons: Totems mechanics atm. Mail caster gear drops are rare?
Lock -
Pros: Super easy to level. Lots of cool pets. Good damage if well equipped. Summons and Stones? Always wanted to try demon form.
Cons: Hard to gear up, rough starting out? Lackluster later on in high raids? Not much utility or buffs later?
As far as Moonkin Druids, I've only seen Feral druids on the raids so no experience.
Does anyone that play these classes have any end game raid insight about the ranged classes I mentioned? Are there any I'm missing? Any Naxx or Ulduar raid pve dps insight would be appreciated.

Moonkin is by far the most difficult to gear, as there are absolutely no pieces of caster leather with +hit on them aside from tiers, and many groups will not allow you to roll on cloth.
The same is true with elemental gear.

<- level 80 mail epics with hit rating and spell power; it's all tier or PvP.
