In terms of APM/keypresses, it's hard to beat a Mage. While grouping you can get away with just pressing your /pet attack macro every mob and throwing in a nuke every now and then. And soloing is not too much more involved. A Rogue has to do considerably more work positioning for every mob and staying in melee range. That's not a concern for the Mage, the pet does all the heavy lifting. Just not a lot of keypressing required here. A very chill class to play.
Wizard is obviously a contender. But played well, a grouping Wizard will actually be relatively active and focused on CC through root and stun nukes. And when solo quadding is pretty easy once you get the hang of it, but does require a lot of attention if you don't want to fuck it up. They are probably the absolute best class for chill raiding, however.
Clerics are more chill than most classes, but if you get too chill on a Cleric you WILL have your tank die on you while you aren't paying attention and possibly wipe your group. It's just a matter of time. Would not recommend Cleric if most chill is your absolute #1 priority, but it's probably the best combination of a chill class that is also very desired for both groups and raids.
Rogue is by far the most chill melee class. You have to position yourself for mobs and occasionally drag corpses, but that's about it. You will almost never be asked to pull, which is the least chill thing to do in the game.
Classes for the chill player to avoid like the Plague: Bard, Monk, Enchanter, Shaman.
Everything else is somewhere in between depending on the situation.
