I've collected the same data seen above. Druids and Warlocks are the lowest.
Druids, really don't know why they're so underplayed, when they used to be high in Retail. Maybe it's something to do with the jack of all, master of none approach?
Bear isn't a raid tank. -> roll warr.
Cat is a watered down rogue. -> roll rogue.
Resto is a great healer, but because they don't have a standard res, they're going to have popularity issues in 5 mans. -> roll priest.
Druid would work well for undecided people, but most people on this server tend to be MMO veterans, and not the undecided type.
As for Warlocks, warlocks are excellent dps, excellent PvP, hella fun to play. They have the best raid utility in the game, I always LOVE having a lock in group, if just for the summons and soulstones.
It was always the least popular class, until Blizz made it so easy in Pandaland that an educated cat could outdps you on a destro. My first and favorite class, don't know why it was so unpopular. Perhaps the dark role doesn't appeal to some? Warlock isn't a very traditional class, fairly original to WoW. It's kinda like a hybrid between hunter and mage, so people tend to go either way, but not the middle, which is a shame. Someone else would have to explain a Warlocks lack of appeal.
