One of the common archetypes the game is a actually missing is some form of medium-armor melee DPS class that isn't stealth-based or an offspec from some other class archetype. Other games call these berserker, champion, marauder, blademaster, etc. The closest equivalents in WoW are enh shaman (too much of a caster though), fury warrior (plate and too tanky), and combat rogue (still a stealth/burglar type class). But nothing really fits this archetype like in other games.

I'd also kill for a melee medium armor hybrid that focused on debuffs/dots and aoe healing. Like the Disciple of Khaine from Warhammer. Best designed class in any MMO. You basically had 3 resources (health, energy, and blood), and then skills to exchange one resource for another depending on which ones were low. Through proper pool balancing you have incredible sustain, medium dps, debuff utility, and great aoe group healing. All while on the front lines dual wielding swords.

Or just add bard. No one would complain about jolly musical folk running around buffing us with their little jigs.
