I'd like a cloth/intellect melee class, a int-plate DPS class, something that could dual wield shields, and something that could dual wield ranged weapons
I fail to see why people keep suggesting Necromancer. Its superfluous. It's like asking for a new class called Sorcerer.
Sure, Death Knights are completely different things in generic fantasy than Necromancer wizards, but Death Knights, while being Death Knights, are also highly capable in the art of Necromancy. WoW DKs have basically all the necromancy spells you'd expect to see from a WoW Necromancer, and if you're wondering how they'd implement 'pets fighting for you' just look at the new Demo lock and the BM hunters. Both specs suck pretty hard mechanics wise. You don't even want that.
The only generic fantasy class they lack is the Bard. It can be made to have both healer, dps, or hybrid dps/heal specs, like the Priest. If you'd want to make it really special, you could make it less of a healer and more of a buffer, giving huge buffs to the raid for every situation.
If you ask me my dream scenario, it would be simply adding a fourth spec to every class. It would add much more depth to the game than one new class. New classes don't add much for the player base, but a fourth spec gives new options for every player.

Hard to say. Do we even need more classes? Seems Blizzard has their hands full with what we have already.
But if we are to add another one, I seriously doubt something like Tinkerer or Alchemist (From Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne neutral heroes Tavern building) would be it. But then again, I doubted Demon Hunters being a thing.
Perhaps someone with Mail armor would be next? 2 use Mail, 3 use Cloth, 4 use Leather and 3 use Plate.
The only things I can think of are non-playable characters in games, and some builds in Dark Souls.
Hey, it could work! A shield wall! I mean, look at how badass that can look: http://i.imgur.com/rQuHFKW.jpg
That's looks good and helps me visualize it better. Using the two shields to form a wall is a cool concept.
I had more of something like this in mind which just looks silly to me: http://i35.tinypic.com/1sjmet.jpg
Honestly I wish that they had just done this from the get go. Make unholy dk a necromancer class who uses int plate and specialized in summon armies of the dead and corrupting the flesh of the living.
Honestly if the unholy spec they're pushing in legion was ranged and cast spells it would be perfect. They already have a ranged plague spreading attack with outbreak. Their artifact weapon summons undead and the corrupting the flesh of the target is basically festering wounds. Anything that uses runes would be instant cast and anything that uses runic power would be a cast time. They would have a larger pool of RP than normal, start out with 100% and generate it slowly over time in addition to gaining some whenever a rune is used. I would say more summons too.
I don't see how DK fills the niche of Necromancer. In other games,the necromancer is usually a caster. Sure, DKs have a touch of necromancy, but it's not like it's the core game play.
I would like to see this game have a short term charmer like some other MMOs do. Bard could be great for that and Tinker could have some sort of bot or mech suit he rides around in, which just sounds super fun to me. Bard seems like it would be hard to balance, if they are allowed to charm raid trash and such though.
How about a battle mage, I think that would be interesting.
Warden type class that uses glaives. A real mid ranged class. Honestly though that should probably just be the 3rd demon hunter spec.
Imma fight for my Bard until the day the servers die.
Ranged DPS and Healer.
FFXIV - Maduin (Dynamis DC)
How about no new classes and more new races.
Me thinks Chromie has a whole lot of splaining to do!
Only reason I'd get excited for tinkerer class is that we will get a gnome/goblin techonoloy based expansion
Necromancer will never get added.
Not even going to read this post, just can't pass up the opportunity to state that I'm sure about 1/2 of them are saying "TINKERER!!!"
