Mages. Super fun to level. Probably my favorite to level out of the three, but don't expect to do MUCH lfd runs, since DPS queues can be *woah* while leveling. Soloing/farming is...difficult...since you rely TOTALLY on abilities like frost nova and snares. I personally feel that Mages are the worst soloers/farmers in the game. But hey, they are fun. PvP, their utility is nearly unmatched, damage is amazing, and mana regen is great. Really just a fun class.
I find that to be disingenuous.
Leveling with Frost is p*ss easy up to the 60's. Then you can switch over to arcane (talent for Slow) and bust out all the way to 80. There are a few quests where spec'ing back into frost is beneficial (mage hunters in Dragonblight come to mind), but otherwise it's laughably simple.
Heck, leveling a mage as frost has to be one of the easiest things in the game. You kill most things before they even get close to you. It's about selecting the proper talents and enchanting correctly. You can easily solo 2 man quests.
They also bring good raid utility and are one of the top 3 DPS classes for raids, with rogues holding the most records, then somewhat of a battle for second between mages and DK's.
When it comes to the raid utility of Warlocks, summoning is wholly overrated thanks to meeting stones and teleports between levels of ICC. Healthstones are almost completely worthless in ICC as you should never be at the point where using one is a necessity or the difference between a win and wipe. If it is, your guild has much bigger issues to sort out. Soulstones are mostly worthless in Lich King encounters anyway since platform and Valkyr death nullify the effect of the soulstone. And when it comes to the first 11, you only rez with 5300 health, it can't be coordinated with healers like calling for a battle-rez, and towards the end of icc10, icc25 and in icc10 heroic, you'll get whacked for that before you can get rebuffed.

Warlocks: Farming...same with solo; slower than say a paladin/DK, but pretty good. I almost wanna say a spriest would be better though, due to Vampiric Embrace. Almost.
Is this some sort of joke? Warlocks farming slower than paladins and DK? Made me laugh :o)

Fair enough, i never said Paladins are bad farmers (never played one actually ;o)
My point is that Affliction-Warlocks are incredibly good at farming. They can dot non-stop
on the move
and end with full health and mana after killing every mob in sight in insignificant more time it takes them to kill one.

Out of the blue, i would definitely choose a Warlock or a Mage. They both have a decent amount of power for both PvE and PvP. Warlocks however, are somewhat stronger then mages, if the player knows how to set controls on rotation dots to do major damage. Mages however do damage randomly. But priests on the other hand are Mostly set on healing, and doing little damage to get away from death
Good hunting!
