I want to already place bets on the top 3 of this expansion even before release because we'll all know who that will be.
Such a joke if you ask me. You don't even have to make guesses or look at Simulations anymore, because we all know who will be the most useful and widely known best Class out there.

This video is a good overview on the melee DPS specs in Legion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19YI6xWkYxM
Enh shaman, WW monk, UH DK, Fury war are all currently strong in pvp and pve.
Ignore current dps numbers (since they are constantly being changed).
DK (frost/unholy) = Enhance = Windwalker > Fury > Havoc >= Feral >= Arms > Rogue >= Survival > Ret
How the class plays and choice in talents is how I list them but remember everyone has a different opinion.
as long as you don't pick feral/ret ur good.
Ret does seem really dull. I really like the blade of justice animation, but it's so small that it might as well have no animation. It's so boring though and you have so many empty GCDs that it's nuts.
A lot of people are down on rogue, but I've had a lot of fun with outlaw and subtlety. I haven't given assassination a fair shake yet, but I've heard it's strong at 110 for single target.
Things will end up like they nearly always do (arms in HFC was an aberration)
One rogue spec > fury > second rogue spec > havoc > unholy > feral = ret = enhancement > windwalker > arms > frost > third rogue spec
