Race is completely irrelevant (i.e. there is no best race). Just pick the one you want to look at for the next several hundred hours, that is the only real difference.
Class: they are all incredibly easy and all have a dps spec so again, completely irrelevant. Play what you like.
You can play every class to level 60 in no time at all now and then you'll have one of every class to choose from whenever your current one gets gutted and nerfed into oblivion by the B-team.
