I too must endorse the Druid/Rogue combination.
My brother and I started up this pair, me being the druid, and we flew to level 41 in no time. The kill speed is spectacular, and it's always safe. I love the dual stealth attacks -- my bro leads in with cheap shot, he stab stab stabs away, then I pounce or do my backstab equivalent, we feint and cower passing the aggro back and fourth so neither of us takes much of a beating. I go mage style for certain situations, such as the two of us taking out four mobs; he saps one, I root the other, then we each take out a foe. Either that, or I bear mode to tank while he cuts their knees out.
Also, my Druid is a Goblin Engineer. He's got added weapons like "The Big One", the "Goblin Sapper Charge", as well as the ol' stand-by "Mithril Frag Bomb". The "Goblin Rocket Helm" is a hilarious bonus -- my druid, once every 20 minutes, can charge an enemy, knocking them silly for 30 seconds. It works in PvP too, it's a funny in-combat sap-equivalent. So when things get rough, I can take an enemy out of the picture. All the bombs and trinkets that engineering affords my druid makes him this weird super-hybrid class. This, in addition to the jack-of-all-trades style of play through shapeshifting, makes him a bucket of fun to play. The rogue partner is a great choice simply because of the stealthing, the reliable dps, and wonderful crowd control (sap, blind) and the practical stun-locking of single targets.
The other combination that I started my post-beta WoW career with was Paladin (me) with Mage and Warrior. In most situations, I was primary healer. This combination was able to full-clear all instances up until Uldaman. We were 40 when we cleared Scarlet Monastery, just the three of us. Uldaman, though, we couldn't beat the final boss. Once those extra elite stone golem guys came into the mix, we got clobbered. Zul'Farrak proved to be slightly more than we could handle as well, since those damn elite trolls would leech life off of us, and when in packs of 4, we couldn't take them down fast enough.

"Yay! We did it!"
"Who are you?"
"Um, uh... just ... a guy." *flee*
