Hey there, I am curious to ask which classes are the top AoE classes?

Well I was saying in the form of heroics/raiding but farming is ok too. I was more in questioning which classes are helpful during instances or raids for taking on multiple enemies without causing too much trouble for a tank.

Shamans are probably the worst AoE healers if they can't make use of chain heal due to range problems. The best AoE healers are classes with heals that work beyond a 10 yard range in an expansion where spreading out at least 10 yards apart from each other was done on maybe 90% of fights the previous tier.

My demo lock has no problem beating everyone I run against for Aoe. Any hunter, moonkin, dk, whatever. Metamorphosis+immolation aura+hellfire+shadowflame+felstorm is unbeatable. It takes a total of like 3 secs to get all that up, and if you get in trouble a demon leap+soul shatter is a godsend to save you.
I farm cloth all the time in TB. I pull about 10 guys and can Aoe them down in probably like 5 secs. Soul harvest my health back to full and I'm ready for round 2.

While all classes have "good" AoE damage, a Demonology Warlock, with all CD's, is going to top anything out there on most pulls.
What I would like to point out though, is you said which classes are helpful during instances or raids for taking on multiple enemies without causing too much trouble for a tank..
AoE really isn't all that "helpful", except in a few specific fights (Magmaw worms for example). Sure, it helps get through some big packs of mobs a little faster than if we had to single target them all down, but its not something you should base your class choice around. All it really is good for is padding DPS meters, and for shorts bursts of e-peen glory.

Theoretically within a short period of time and all cooldowns blown, a BM Hunter, believe it or not.

Dk is best easyly. And easy too. Remember best spells and use them. Its not too easy i think but. Heroics is best aoe dk damage. But raiding is good too.

AoE DPS really depends on how long the fight lasts. If a boomkin has the time to dot everything and have them tick for a while, or an enhancement shaman gets the chance to put flame shock on three or four mobs and start spamming Fire Nova with that many up, they'll both do some pretty good aoe DPS. But the enhancement shaman in particular is awful on mobs that don't last for more than about 8 seconds.
