Not really sure about the healers.

Dps are way easier to compare in terms of rotation and utility.

Blood DK is by far the only tank that scales with playstyle other tanks just spam their rotation while a good Blood DK always times his Deathstrikes. so from a Tank PoV i would say DK even though a good warri has a lot to do too with safeguarding people and his utility. no idea about DPSers though. and yes i played any tankclass

Every class has a high skill cap if you want to truly amaze your raid members on every pull. Folks point to my class/spec as being one of the easiest ones, and the basic rotation is, indeed, very rudimentary and simple. As a result, though, every pull presents a challenge in terms of overcoming the limitations of the class and doing things that were designed for different and, in some ways, better tanks. We lack encounter-breaking cooldowns/passives, massive self-healing, or a shield to reduce the size of hits coming in. The dynamic is that of a pure power tank, bear vs. boss. The upside is that played properly, Druid take less damage than any other tank, but practically all of that has to be covered by a healer. It's a case where the skill cap comes not from the complexity of the class, but its simplicity. Though it may have been a joking post, Arcane Mage as the first reply is another excellent example of the same phenomenon. The rotation is simple; the challenge comes from the limitation of needing to be a turret on encounters that actively prevent you from standing still. Shadow Priests and Balance Druids fall into this category as well.
Then there are specs that have a complicated or unfriendly rotation, but that also can bail themselves out of adverse situations extremely easily and are generally able to perform to their full potential on every fight. Fury Warrior, Sub Rogue, Enhancement Shaman, Feral Druid, and any Warlock would be good examples of this. They have excellent survivability, self-healing, extensive mobility tools, etc. Fire Mage slightly less so, but it puts out extraordinarily high DPS.
There is one outlier, in terms of a class that is both complex to play and has a challenge performing to full potential on many PvE encounters. That is the poor Combat Rogue.
Then there are the classes that are easy to play and easy to master, but don't always light up the charts. Those are your Hunters, Elemental Shamans, Ret Paladins, Arms Warriors, Frost Mages.

Affliction locks take a great deal of skill to master in pve its one of those specs that has insane dps potential but its extremely unforgiving if you mess up your rotation.
