Quick class question

Okay, to start off with, this is not a "Tell me which class to play!11!" post.
I'm just curious about one short thing.
Which classes are currently the top at AoE? Or more specifically, AoE farming?
I imagine Blood DKs are up there, but can't make another DK.
To explain a bit further, about to be leveling a new toon, realized when I finished it, I'll have herb/mining eng/ench jc/alch and inscription/bs done, but will lack a skinning/LW char. As said, I already have a DK, so can't make another one.
Simply curious as to which class would be quick/easy to AoE farm for leathers and all. (Yes, I know, can just buy them on AH, but I find going out and farming the stuff myself to be more entertaining)
I have the option of a warrior that's currently horde, swapping factions and taking the spot, but don't really want to drop the cash on it.
I figure Blood DK, Frost Mage and maybe Prot pallies are up there, but not sure anymore after all the breaks I've taken.
Anyone able to help?

Honestly, any of the Warrior specs, any of the Warlock specs, most of the Hunter specs, Shadow Priest I believe, Ret and Prot Pallys, the Mage specs; as you'll be leveling, any of them can end up with good AoE damage once you reach the level they have access to them.

Feral druids have a pretty good AoE too.

cat-swipe is good for grinding mobs. I prefer using melee for leather grinding because the mobs are right next to you when they die. I used to use a hunter, but for some reason found that 3 second run to the corpse annoying.

Demo locks are pretty sweet for farming large packs (Felstorm, Hellfire, and Rain of Fire). I would imagine Ele Shaman with glyphed Chain Lightning/Earthquake would be good too.

I'd go Bearcat spec'd Druid. Worgen for racial.

Actually forgot to post update, after thinkin about it a bit more, decided I'm too lazy to level up a new char and just faction swapped my war to a worgen. Slowly cranking out the farming now.(way too cheap to pay 100-150g a stack of heavy leather).
But I will ask, since friend of mine said it was nerfed and I'm not entirely sure. Did Frost mage AoE farming get nerfed? I remember back when I mained a protadin for AoE, I'd watch frost mages one-up me time and time again, always wanted to give their style a chance but never leveled a mage. If I ever was to level up a tailoring char to finish off all the profs, I thought about a mage, but ..only if Frost AoE farming still exists in some form?

Well, on the AoE thing with pally suggestion, I'll say this.
I've done the DK AoE character (Both Unholy tank back at wrath launch, when Unholy Blight was an "aura" and Blood Dk these days). and I mained a Prot pally for most of wrath. I quit pallies the day after Holy power was patched in.
Haven't gotten to play much (Hurray getting told to stay late every. single. day. at work) but warrior is in 200s on LW so far, so works for me.
