for 1v1 or BG?

Your OP indicated you were looking for a class for 1v1 duels, imo enh shaman would be the best for this because they are very well rounded. Good damage, an interrupt, purge and decent heals would make you great for 1v1. Honestly any spec or class can be fun in bg's, so roll something you enjoy playing.

enhance shammy for duels
enh shammy vs warrior = shammy wins
enh shammy vs feral druid = shammy wins
warrior without healer will suck in bgs
druid without healer will do fine in bgs
warrior with healer will rock in bgs
druid with healer wont do as good as warrior with healer in bgs.
so basically, enhance sham is best for duels out of the classes you chose.
and feral druids will do better in bgs individually
note that warriors will place the last on duels.. but prot is a little better when dueling 1v1 (especially NE warriors since they can shadowmeld charge)
feral druid vs warrior = feral wins
enh sham vs warrior = sham wins
enhance shammy i dont think is as good in bgs.. like they dont have utility to go to the backpedalling huntards (wolf is not instant casted so its pretty bad)
enh shammy vs warrior = shammy wins
enh shammy vs feral druid = shammy wins
warrior without healer will suck in bgs
druid without healer will do fine in bgs
warrior with healer will rock in bgs

From your optons, Enhancement for duels, and Druids for Bg's i guess, but imo Ret is loads of fun (and burst) in BG's

I'll give you some of my thoughts on the subject :
First of all you have to meet a good player in all those classes -feral druid,enhancement shamy,warrior,rogue,retri pala
Because you're objectivity turns subjective if you don't- an example you can have a good shamy or retri owning all others and thinking- G that class is the best.
Through my experience (which is vast in this bracket) :
1.The strongest melee class is a retri pala cause he hits like a warrior and has stun & lay on Hands & the ability to self heal -and not to mention much armor to stay alive.Also retri palas with all there CD's are the most dangerous but they have to watch our for there small mana pool,else it's all over for them.
2.Ferals like rogues have a lot of mobility and there first attack hits like a mofo but are squishy so they can't stay alive for long.
3.Enhancement shamans are the most interesting class cause of there diversity but are mana dependent and can only move across a small area in a fight (due to there totems) and they have a nice DPS burst.Also they can either do DPS or self heal while being hit by some other heavy DPS melee class,so when there mana runs out it's pretty much over.
4.Rogues can only be efficient from stealth and after that it's the ''run for your life story'' if there ''Evasion'' is on CD.
5.Warriors have the greatest dmg and most armor,can stance dance if needed and even kite some melees with piercing howl ,and with a good healer on there back can become an unstopable force with the most mobility (even more then hunters on an ocation)
Concirning duels warriors are the strongest (beats shamys,rogues,ferals) only if they can suprise a retri pala in not outhealing himself in first 6-8 seconds of the fight then it's a gg-else retris wins the bracket as the strongest melee DPS class.

Certainly not. Warriors are by far the weakest class to duel with. Only again real idiots, you'll lose. Rogues can easily kite you, same goes actually for all other classes.

Well i really don't recall a single shamy ever (and i do mean ever) killing me on 1 vs 1 in any BG or a duel for that matter,but then again maybe there aren't any good ones in f2p on ally side ( the ones i recall fighting have only self healed to stay alive when i began hitting them ),so you could actually be right there.
Also a rogue can't kite a warrior if he has ''piercing howl'' and just turns to his attackers face during the fight.-THAT ONE IS A FACT ! ( due to over 300 k HK's on all my warriors so far in more then one bracket )

Gouge when PH is 1 - 2s left. Move away, kite with Thrown, ShS to gain speed fast and Evasion when the Warrior does get on you. For even more lolz, you can just sap, go out of stealth, Thrown kite. No way he'll ever get on you again.

Are you sure throwing weapons do more damage then warrior throw? I remember a warrior doing like 600 damage with that in the vengeance times.
