Mage has the most fun balance of movement, positional abilities, and big risk/reward cast attacks so I liked it a lot. You could do a lot of optimizations and tricks to beat people who have way better gear than you.

Everything you say about mages is true- they're so smooth. It feels like they design abilities for mages and then find excuses to give other classes a more awkward version. They're flavorful, functional, with many abilities but rarely complex for the sake of complexity. I leveled my first character being entirely envious of mages in battlegrounds, and once I actually played one I felt so overpowered. Completely destroyed everything except hunters. If you quit during BC you never got to experience the joy of Spellsteal. Now that's a yoink and a half.

I really liked the Warrior too, so much burst DPS, but only because my friend got the best hammer and armor for him already. In general I played PvP way more than PvE, which is why I never actually leveled a character to max.

Warriors back in the day had a gargantuan toolkit that rewarded skill and gear excellently. I think that's still the case, but the ability pruning in WoD and changes to stat scaling have made it more reasonable.

I didn't play the class until wrath, and was mostly a Prot juggernaut/stunfactory, but as Arms is the forever recommended PvP spec. My favorite single moment in my history with the game is when I rocketed a flag across warsong gulch to win the game at the last possible moment using a series of Charge -> Intercept -> Intervene -> Charge combined with Spell Reflect, Disarm, Enrage, and Interrupts to keep myself moving

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
