Marksman and survival hunters however need to have a shot rotation but it's still on par or even low than BM hunter 1-click dps.
For a mage, spamming frostbolt/fireball+scorch is all they have to do really. That "using latency bar" is big crap. I have Quartz myself and when you are in the latency bit of the castbar it's not like you can cast a new spell already, if you move then it will still complete the cast but if you do that all the time you're kinda stupid.
And for the paladin bit:
Step 1: Download Grid.
Step 2: Download Clique.
Step 3: Left-click a character pane for flash of light, right-click a character pane for holy light. How hard is that?
BM Hunter/Mage/Paladin/Lock/Ele shammy is definitely the easiest class to play. They are all not melee classes so they don't have to watch out for cleaves, tailswipes or whatever and most AoE hits the melee classes. They can also perform very well with playing only with mouse keybinds and movement and/or 1-click dps.
This doesn't come from just crappy kara which you can complete with a bunch of dickheads but from MH/BT/SWP.
Also to note the healing meter. Some classes will ALWAYS be on top of the healing meter because of their nature. Chain heal for example will jump to targets that are not at 100% health, jumping to the lowest player on health first. Spells like CoH however heal that player that is damaged and his/her party members. Those party members still get healed even though they can be at 100%, causing overhealing done but no healing done.
