Thanks for the tipps so far.
Regarding new (PvP) servers and hordes of new players, I don't think it's as bad as in February anymore when EVERYTHING was new and the majority of all players could be found in the same (contested) areas. For example, yesterday, I started with an Undead Priestess for a test on the new RP-PvP server "Die Todeskrallen" in Europe, and I was very surprised to meet just 2 or 3 (!) people near the auction house and bank when I made a trip at level 5 to Orgrimmar during the late evening. That was totally different in February when WoW was launched in Europe. The population might increase significantly during the upcoming weekend, but I think it will still be rather quiet compared to the launch day.
As far as personal preferences goes, well, I know the Warlock but a change is badly needed after playing two so far :) A sturdy warrior in plate, as suggested by Rinnhart, would be a safe option (and I already have one at level 60), but as just said, I'm looking for something new, and I'm missing the (self-)healing ability of a Warrior which I consider even more cruicial in PvP than in PvE (please correct me if I'm seeing this wrong). A Druid would be nice too, but I already have two of those on the RP servers, so I guess it's the Priest now - Horde (the "underdogs") and Undead, because Tirisfal is by far my preferred starting and home location. Devouring Plague and Will of the Forsaken makes the choice even easier.
The Shadow build looks good because I plan to solo a lot, even in the end-game. The combination of a Shadow build with Engineering/Mining for the PvP tools and cash through Thorium/Arcane Crystals seems to make the most sense, or is there anything that I should go with Herbalism/Alchemy instead? I'm afraid that you loose too much of the expensive Alchemy buffs if you die a lot in PvP.
