Discounting feral druid, as i've never played them.
Easy to level; Paladin
Good at PvP; Rogue
Good fun; Paladin + Rogue (Two different play styles).
High Survivability; Paladin
However. I'd say to try out a warrior, Leveling my warrior was great fun, and with first aid i barely ever died. They're good at PvP (Prot, or arms), and fairly straight forward.

Personally if I were you, I'd try a shaman. It has a ranged interrupt. (keeps you safe?) You have ground totems, dispelling totems, etc totems. Also If you find you don't like meele, switch to heals or ranged.

I vote rogue or enhancement Shammy as rogues are great at pvp and can be a lot of fun stealthing into cities of the opposite faction pickpocketing etc...Enhancement shammies can pull crazy dps at low levels (haven't gotten high level personally yet) and they are good at pvp with frostbrand + totems imo.

Enhance is decent 40-79 pvp, but at 80 they're too squishy, and don't have enough burst for 2v2 arena. In 3's, thier job is to lock down the healer, and they get dominated by casters in 5's.
Pallies are boring for the first 40-50 levels. Judge, then auto attack. Exorcism if you feel like it. Pally aoe levelling isn't even viable until 40 with holy shield.
Rogues have horrid survivability in pve, and before they get stunlocks they are bad. Although they are good at 80.
I'd try feral druid or warrior, although feral druids don't do much dps unil they can get arpen gear compared to other classes that can stack AP or SP and do good damage, feral druids don't do as much dps pre60, or even mostly through BC and wrath.

My main is a rogue well geared lvl 80 and I also have a Warrior, mainly tank but he has a dps spec (Fury). If you wanting a good melee class I'd shy away from Warrior, hes ok at dps but there are better melee classes out there. Can't say much about pally's as I dont have one.
But dont dismiss the rogue so fast, boy they are fun in PvP and if you play it right you can survive in PvE no problem, I live in most wipes due to vanish and you can transfer agro with Tricks of the Trade and unload all the time, where some classes have to watch their agro.
Hope this helps.

Rogues aren't hard to level, although if you pull 3 mobs instead of 1, you're screwed, where as a pally or warrior could take them no problem. Pallies start to pick up after 50 when they get thier first instant attack after judgement, and at 60 they're really good. If you don't mind being bored for the first 50 levels, pallies are they way to go. I haven't levelled a warrior past 10 though, so I really don't know how that is. Ferals are fun though, even if they don't do quite as good dps.
IMO feral druids are like a melee lock class, because they're centered around bleeds that do a crapton of DoT. (Yesyesyes, I know that locks are nothing like feral druids) But I was comparing it to the amount and power of the DoTs.
