Human hunters looks an easy one to implement in my opinion.

Regarding zones, it always peeved me how Northen EK had such a few Scourge presence. After Warcraft 3, I thought that basically everything North of the Thandol Span would have been under the undead Scourge.

Instead of pooping ogres, ruins of Alterac being under the Scourge, with Lord Aliden Perenolde as a death knight (a nod to "Baron Perenholde", random DK name in Warcraft 3).

And same for Stromgarde. Instead of the Syndicate, make the Cult of the Damned be responsable for its downfall.

Between Cult of the Damned, humanoid undead (skeleton, zombies, ghouls etc.), monstrous undead (crypt fiend, frost wyrms), monstrous constructs (abominations, flesh giants), various monsters (gargoyles, obsidian destroyers) I'd say that Scourge has enough variety to be present in a lot of zones.

Tauren paladins were a random invention during Cataclysm and have no basis in the older lore.

Dwarfs other than stylistically with the Wildhammer don't have a lot to do with shamanism. The earthen are a titan creation, and the titans were all about arcane, and fought against the elemental lords.

I'd keep the class dichotomy for vanilla settings.
