Whats best to twink ?

honestly, you should roll a mage or some sort of healing class, we have plenty rogues and hunters as is.
however, if you're hellbent on playing 1 of the 2, at least promise me youll learn to play correctly.
 
As far as "best" goes, it's neither rogue or hunter.

Make a holy pally or a disc priest. You can still do a decent amount of damage while having high survivability + ability to heal your team and effectively change the outcome of games.
 
Let me give you a rundown. It all depends who you ask:

If you ask a hunter or rogue, they will say neither, go with the healer because healers heal hunters and rogues.
If you ask the healer, they will say muhahaha more huntarz nao.
If you ask dorigon, he will say hunter because he is still bitter about being killed by s keying hunters on a lock and wants everyone else to feel the same pain.
If you ask me, or any other druid/lock/mage/shammy/fc we will say for the love of god man to not make a hunter or rogue, play an underrepresented class.
 
i would look at incoming possible changes in MOP, predict what class to roll or wait

Talent Calculator - Game Guide - World of Warcraft!

although subject to change rogues are getting smacked down hard, imo to gimp status.

been in BGs with dorigon (both)...it generally takes 2 rogues to kill him. 1 rogue if he is engaged in another fight, but that goes to say dorigon can do the same to a rogue or any other class with ease that is engaged in another fight to. warlocks get their stuff off, you are dead no matter what. a hunters nightmare is a BG with 3 warlocks rolling around grouped, thank god that is rare.

roll a paladin, despite what everyone says, near everyone has 1-2 of them they roll in 19 bracket, they are curently only losing exorcism but gaining no CD on WOG which means a huge comeback for ret/prot's in 19's

priests may have issues losing their dot heal...renew

rolled into a BG few days ago, horde had a 3 h-pal, 2 d-priest, 2 hunter, 1 mage and 1 war team. on another occasion alliance had 5 holy paladins. it all goes in cycles as players dual/win roll or faction swap too and you can end up in a game with 5-7+ rogues/hunters just on one side,
 
yeah they are, currently showing 19 rogues losing Shadowstep, Gouge, Sprint, Backstab, and Instant Poison. rogues are getting Deadly Poison but imo it's rather weak at 19 and going back to sharpening stones may be better? talent points they get a 15 are trash compared to other classes.

will no longer have SS to close gaps after being feared, scatter shotted, etc, also when you trinket no longer will have Sprint to gap close on target and once there no longer a Gouge to use for set-ups or spell interrupts

gimped, blizz will not give rogues ability to wipe players using Subterfuge, 3 secs won't really matter cause rogues most of the time can ambush, sinister stike and eviscerate by the time a opposing player reacts, that also would be the time you will be out of stealth with no energy but with no more Shadowstep, Gouge, Sprint

i leveling my 10 rogue on CATA mostly due to Sprint back then got moved to lvl-16, along with other abilities lost at 10

in MOP, panda w/sleep racial, goblins w/jump racial, worgen w/spint racial will have best chance

nothing new...most rogues started fading away thru end of BC and at the start of WOTLK and alot quit after the second patch going into WOTLK. if you played then.... you know they had rather worthless glyph's at low levels. if you where on this forum back in 2009 when rogues QQ'd you will remember my canned statement of rogues: "cool looking bank alt". CATA is what brought many back along with the interest to reroll a regue.

about the same situation as enh-shams, they rocked in WOTLK....pretty much benched in CATA, with only a few still playing ele-spec.

90% of the paladins you see now are new since CATA -2010

all goes in cycles,

I was one of a few 19 rogues who actually played wsg in LK during the Ruin migration.
