This is a topic from the WoW forums. It's easy to say you don't like this or that class because it owns you in pvp, but I thought it was interesting to see why other players who have actually tried other classes and found out they didn't like them.
No surprise, pretty much every class was mentioned. Least mentioned was druid. The class that kept coming up early on was rogues (warriors seemed to be mentioned a lot too).
Here are some of the reasons given for not liking rogues:
*I can't get into 'em. Maybe I just don't have the manual dexterity to play one efficiently :)
*I can't play anything that doesn't have a blue bar.
*I haven't been able to get a rogue/warrior past 20.
*Never got one past 15. The Combo Point 90s Fighting Game mechanic just leaves me cold, as it always has.
*I've created three or four of them thinking, each time, that I'd totally enjoy it. I'm wrong each and every time.
*warrior/Rogue/priest/mage are a pain in the ass. Rogues and warriors only got bandages and pots
*I cant play a non caster.
*Rogue...I've tried and it's just too stupid. They're faceroll at everything.
*Rogue. Sneakily and skillfully filling your target feels horribly slow and boring after the 3rd mob or so. I've had one that has moved from level 35 to 42 over the course of 3 years.
*Everytime I am absolutely murdered in a BG by a rogue I think "wow, I really should create a rogue, it looks like so much fun....." I think the highest I ever got one was 18 before I cleared bags, removed gold and deleted toon swearing I'll never create one again.
*Rogue's cause of the missmissdodgemissparrymissmissdodgeparymissmissmiss after the get duel-wield.
*That pretty much nails down my views on Rogues as well. Tried many times, each thinking "It'll be different this time", only to approach lvl 20 & find myself painfully bored with the class...just like all the other times.
*In theory, I should love playing rogues. but the fact of the matter is that I simply can't get into it. I blame combo points, to monotonous.
*I can't play anything that can't heal themselves.
*Rogues. I tried leveling one like three times thinking I can finally open those damn lockboxes myself, but I could never get one enough to leave the newbie zone. Just not really my style I guess.
*Rogue. They are fun, but just not my style. I don't like to sneak up on things.
*I just can't seem to have fun playing a Rogue.
Just as someone mentioned, I've often dreamt about playing a rogue and sharing the sorrow inflicted upon me by one. I also wish my druid could play like one, but then it wouldn't be a druid would it?

Hmmm I used to say I would never level a warlock. The second character I ever created was a warlock and I never played him after the initial trial period.
Now though I can't really say that since my warlock is 80... so uh... yeah I can get into all of them.
Some specs I have issues getting into... like combat for rogues, affliction for warlocks, survival for hunters... but there is usually something I love about every class.
Warriors and hunters. I'm mostly talking in pvp here. After playing almost exclusively casters for a while, the idea that I could do consistent dps while still getting hit just seemed... unnatural to me.
As for warriors, let me put it this way: I was very good at dodgeball in high school because I was very good at not getting hit. Standing out in front and just getting beat on, and hoping to survive long enough to win just wasn't my thing, even supposing I had support.
