Druids are hybrids too. Did you forget to include them or did you purposely leave them out?

Shaman. There are already too many paladins around.

1) Shaman.
2) Paladin.
3) Both relatively same. Resto shaman is more engaging than a holy pally.
4) Can't decide, both are cool.
5) IMO, make a paladin if you're most interested in PvP and a shaman if you're most interested in PvE. It really depends on what aspect of the hybrid you want. Obviously don't roll a pally for PvP if you only want to tank.
Shaman is more fun to level than a paladin 1-60 because they don't get all their skills from talents. Paladins are pretty much auto attacking with judgement&exorcism until 50-60.
It's arguable which one is better for farming. Enhancement shaman and retribution paladin have little to no downtime usually. Pallys have better AoE potential but this is obsolete because blizz made AoE farming too hard to be effective in WoTLK. Elem shaman is okay but you have more downtime so it's not the best.
The only real difference between roles is that pally has tank and shaman have caster dps.
I personally have both, the pally is on a PvP server for PvPing, and my shaman is on a PvE server for raiding. I love to BG & arena on my pally and love to raid on my shaman.

If you don't participate in PvP and don't have a major interest in tanking I would definately go shaman. They are also more fun to level imo because ret doesn't get its major abilities till 50 and 60 by talents.

PvP sucks as an Elemental shaman (shaman in general is my understanding).
PvE is pretty awesome; with good gear you can put out fairly high DPS in raids, there's almost no down-time in questing and what not and there aren't 6,000,000,000 of 'em! Actually according to
WarCraft Realms
, of the Lv80 characters, 15% are paladins and only 8% are shaman. Those numbers are across all servers.
I love my shaman, as DPS--I hate healing--and I'd reccomend it.
Not to mention, if you go Elemental, you'll be one of the few. Most shaman are Enhancement and so you're competing with a very select group for gear in raids and dungeons.
That's just my input.
(Obligatory prayer: Dear God, please make Blizzard give us a PvP boost!)
