Some help for a noob

[Tal]

Ahh ok, so Pally is out. I do not mind dying as long as I will take many with me  ;) [right][snapback]102531[/snapback][/right]

Well you will take many out before incapacitated as a paladin. It just won't be quick. If you're looking at doing high damage as a warrior I recommend investing in talents in the arms and fury trees. If you plan on dual-wielding one handed weapons I would go down the fury trees. Don't worry about making the absolute best choices for talents at this stage, just have fun. You can respec the talent points at the warrior trainer.

So herbalism/Alchemy is for healing pots too or strictly for stat boosters? [right][snapback]102531[/snapback][/right]

They also remove negative effects and restore health and mana. The profession can also be used for transmutation of objects. For example alchemists are needed to transmute arcanite for blacksmiths and weaponsmiths.

Which profession is best for making money? [right][snapback]102531[/snapback][/right]

A gathering profession seems to still be the top choices for making money. Skinning, herbing, mining and disenchanting (enchanting is the profession) and sell the products on the auction house.

Are healing pots easily buyable provided enough money? [right][snapback]102531[/snapback][/right]

Yes

Also, I have always disregarded high AC in D1 and 2. Can I continue to do that in WoW too? Stat boosters are more important than AC, right?[right][snapback]102531[/snapback][/right]

Stats are important but not at the risk of losing out on a lot of armor. For example there is some mail items that would be a huge boon to Shalandrax but I don't collect it because I don't wish to lose the extra armor my plate affords me. And when I do draw aggro every bit helps. ;)

What is the fastest way to travel from place to place. So far I've only seen that stone that takes you to your home hotel and also Griffons that only seem to be usable in a few places. Is there something faster? No waypoints, right?[right][snapback]102531[/snapback][/right]

No waypoints - just the griffons, boats and zepplins (horde side). The only thing faster won't come until you get to level 40 and can buy a mount which allows you to travel 60% faster.

I will be starting a new warrior on Stormrage probably tonight, so I want to get things right at least at the start ;-)

Nice thing is that you can get to level 10 relatively easily and there are plenty of folks on SR who would be more than willing to send you bags and what not. To find other Lurkers just join the Lurker chat channel (type /join Lurkers into the chat box) and ask if anyone is paying attention to the channel to drop you an invite. If you let me know your character's name I'll send along some potions and a tabard. ;)
