They should be druids. That's all.
Unlike the fact that Alliance currently has 4 choices for paladins when the new races come in and the Horde only has 2? And if the Horde gets Zandalari paladins (and while I would love that, I doubt it'll happen) that still leaves 4 to 3. Stop complaining about fair on this point. The highmountain tauren are almost the same as tauren so it makes sense for them to have similar classes .. so why would it be hard to accept the same for Zandalari? Not saying I think they should or shouldn't be druids, just pointing out that fair as the reason a race shouldn't get to be a class isn't a strong argument on why a race should or shouldn't get a class. It's a pretty weak argument as it is.
I think there's a case to be made for zandalari to be every class except demon hunter and maybe death knight. I'd like to see them as druids and shamans personally.

Druid, warrior, priest, rogue, shaman, hunter and i will say paladin, some zandalaris use holy magic and they can be paladins using the power of some solar loa (in mayan and aztec culture the sun was a main figure, and the great troll empires are very this civilizations).
And what point are you trying to get across? I wasn't asking how many of what side had. I was pointing out arguing that if you wanted fair, everything would be balanced. I do not think it needs to be balanced just to have even on any side. My point was that saying a race shouldn't have a class just because it's uneven isn't a strong stance for that argument to be made. Classes should be based more on lore and less on just to 'balance' things. I don't mind reworking things into lore if Blizz wants to, but I don't think they need to work a class into a race that really doesn't have any connection to that class just to make things even.
I'm sure Zandies will have :
warrior, rogue, hunter, priest, mage (Zanza was sorcerer, and they had a record of practicing arcane)
confirmed: druid
highly possible: paladin (Zandalari Praletes in ToT) , shaman (NPCs in Zul'Drak)
unlikely: monk (even if trolls are known to be practicing martial arts, just different to pandaren), warlock (though they have demoniacs, but they're known to be very few)
I miss Mists of Pandaria
Druids are confirmed for them in an interview - they will be getting raptor travel forms. Along with HM Tauren also getting new forms for druid.
WHILE THE ALLIANCE GET NO NEW DRUID RACES.

Here's what I think:
Zandalari Troll classes: druid, hunter, mage, monk, paladin, priest, rogue, shaman, warlock, warrior.
Dark Iron Dwarf classes: hunter, mage, monk, paladin, priest, rogue, shaman, warlock, warrior.
Yes, I know the Dark Iron would have one less class than the Zandalari, this is just me going off of what we see in lore and what NPCs/mobs we've encountered.
The shaman tier 15 is clearly inspired on the Zandalari. Same for the hidden enhancement artifact skin. I'm confident they can be shamans.
I'd be upset if they can't, cause the reason why I created my shaman back in MoP was the Zandalari trolls and their lore. I've been waiting to play as one of them since then. I'd race change in a heartbeat as soon as I unlock them.
I'm also hoping they can be paladins.

Just give me Zandalari Troll shammy and I'll be happy Would be neat with a paladin too, as I don't have one yet ^^

It's not impossible for Zandalari to be Death Knights. There's actually lore to support that there would be - Zandalari trolls are actually the quest givers in Zim'Torga in Zul'Drak, as well as inside Gundrak. They have been world explorers since Vanilla, so it's not like the Scourge wouldn't have ever seen them.
Plus, most DK powers, loe-wise, fit well with trolls, considering they usually have some sort of undead and blood around them in most of their cultures.
