It's hard enough to balance the classes they've got now. Doubling that number is a recipe for disaster.

I don't mean to be a *!@#, but your suggestions are not very good. Most of those skills that you suggested are already possessed by an existing class or can easily be added without twisting lore/RP reasons much.
In addition to that, I agree with Discolando; they already have a hell of a time balancing the existing class, adding more would only be more work with no gain.

There were faction-specific classes back in Vanilla. They had to get rid of that with the addition of arenas because it felt completely unbalanced.

The idea in theory is a cool one (Wouldn't work though.) However your examples are terrible.
Orc - Farseer
Tauren - Spirit Walker
Troll - Shadow Hunter
Forsaken - Dark Ranger
Blood Elf - Spell Breaker
Goblin - Tinkerer
Human - Beats me.
Dwarf - Mountain King
Night Elf - Warden/Sentinel
Gnome - Tinkerer
Draenei - Vindicator? A bit too much like Paladin.
Worgen - Again, beats me.

Are these actual classes that have existed with the lore, or are you just making them up because they sound cool and kind of match what you think the race is all about?

I wasn't referring to faceshield's post, but rather the OP.
Mountain King...ok I didn't play WC3, but what happens when we have 3000 mountain kings? I think we'll run out of mountains to put thrones on...

No. I think that race only classes hurts the RPers ability to RP a little. In fact I'd rather every race get every class than race-only classes. (why not? Blizz is damn near there anyways come Cata.) That way (RP wise) you're toon can choose which path he wants to follow which I think adds realism to the game. But anyways Blizzard has already said;
THERE WILL BE NO NEW CLASSES IN CATACLYSM!
So people stop making these **** new class ideas. Even if there were going to be a new class then I think Blizzard would put more thought into it than five minutes online. They (apparently) were aware of how unbalanced a new class would make things and have already said that they'll take their time in between new ones.
