Yeah, there are going to be a few factors on how to decide which class you wanna play:
1) Do you want to solo, group, mix of both...also, do you want to be useful for raiding?
2) If grouping, what role interests you? Tanking, DPS, Support, Crowd Control, Healing?
3) What playstyle do you enjoy the most? This kind of comes with experience. You just need to play each class.
4) Looks are important. You are going to be looking at your character a lot. Flexing with the fashion motivates you to play a certain class.
5) How important is self-reliance to you? Do you need a class that has invis? Or some sort of survival mechanic like Feign Death? Some people like the option of going AFK safely and some classes have trouble doing that.
6) How expensive is the classes gear? Shaman are notorious for having pricey gear for example.
7) Is this your first character? Sometimes its easier to start a class that farms well so you can bankroll a class you really want to play.
8) Do you want to avoid having bad faction/evil characters?
9) Are you deadset on playing a specific race and need to know how well their racial bonuses help a class? Iksar Necros, for example.
10) Are you into Melee, Hybrids, Pure Casters, or Priest classes usually?
