Exactly.
My combat rogue is my least played alt, my fun goof-off pirate alt, who nevertheless has better luck on drops than the toons I take more seriously. He's 715 atm, never set foot in a raid, just did some Tanaan dailies, Kazz kills, and a handful of mythic dungeons. I've never gotten around to developing his sub off-spec, so I don't swap for bosses - just all combat all the time. I use the old Spell Flash addon, since it still works for combat rogues and probably knows the spec better than I do (yep, that's how 'lite I am ). Unless I see a situation the addon can't be expected to know about, I just click the glowing button.
I typically pull 50-60k without thinking about it too much and have fun playing pirate. Rarely am I the top dps in good groups, but almost never the bottom.

I'm sure he'll do even more if I ever get his ring above 715.

I started to say the same thing, even had it typed in, but then remembered he fancied a combat rogue.
So yeah, BM hunter is easy to do solid dps on if you like hunters (I do). But play what makes you happy.
"I Am Vengeance. I Am The Night. I Am Felfáádaern!"
Arms warrior hands down... most dumbed down spec in the entire game:
1. press Rend
2. press Colossus Smash
3. press Mortal Strike
4. repeat step 3., then again, then again, then again, then again, then again, then again, then again, then again, then again, then again
5. go to step 1.
I'd hold off until Legion before I make a decision. Balance druid looks kinda simple, so does Frost DK.
If you want easy class, first avoid all melee for Raids, no matter how simple rotation they might have, like Assass/Combat Rogue or frost DK. Simply, staying in a melee is more risky than DPSing from 40y Range. In PVP, with exception of Ashran and random BGs, go with melee and avoid casters :P
Go with Mage: all three specs are easy, Frost being the easiest, Fire is also super easy but requires top gear to be effective.
Warlock: Destruction without pet or Affliction, if you need more survivability tools.
Lon Wolf Hunter is also very simple, you don't need to carry about your pet any more = one less thing to take care on.
If you insist to be a melee in pve go with ass/com Rogue or Frost DK. As Rogue you have much better survivability then any other melee. Talented Feint is your best friend.
For a fresh player, simply rotation is not the only thing you are looking for, but also your survival tools. And here you have two choices: Affliction Warlock and Combat/Assassination Rogue.
MM Hunter is easiest one until you get some tier bonuses.
Press Chimaera Shot on cooldown.
Press Aimed shot or Steady Shot, depending on if you need focus or have focus.
Edit: Press kill shot on cooldown when target has <35% hp.
For aoe (only 5+ targets), replace aimed shot with multishot.
