It's an interesting idea, but we'd have to come up with a common understanding for what the class would do, or we'd have an overwhelming number of abilities/spells that don't at all correspond to each other. I know many people want a class with healing capabilities, but then there are those, like myself, who could really care less about that. We'd also have to try to come up with a name for it that has some sort of basis in the Warcraft universe.
There are many speculations as to what a new class would be, so why don't I go ahead and list the fan-conceived ones I've seen, some that are based on the WoWRPG, and lore (in no particular order):
Shadow Hunter, Spell Breaker, Demon Hunter, Runemaster, Necromancer, Brewmaster, Exemplar, Primal, Berserker, Barbarian, Spirit Walker, Spirit Champion, Prospector, Archmage, Archdruid, Tinker, Steam Warrior, Techno Mage, Chronomancer, Blademaster, Witch Doctor, Templar, Buccaneer, Beastmaster, Gladiator, Assassin, Fel-sworn, Infiltrator, Ley Walker, Duelist, Warden, Dark Ranger, Dragonsworn, Vindicator, Potion Doc, Hexer, Techslayer, Holy Strider, Ranger, Warmage, Bard, Monk
I'll stop there, I've listed 41 different, albeit similar classes, and I left many out. If I left out any of the fan concepts, I'm sorry, but I found this task to be rather taxing on my patience. Each of these classes can be found either on WoWWiki, or the Wowhead forums. Many of these, as I have already said are extremely similar to one another or to existing classes already, so I'll revise the list to what I think could offer a unique play experience if worked up correctly:
Shadow Hunter,
Spell Breaker,
Demon Hunter,
Runemaster,
Brewmaster,
Primal,
Spirit Walker,
Tinker,
Chronomancer,
WarmageI know many would read this list and think that I've left out a great many of the possibilities, but I've left it at only these few for a reason, that they could offer a truly unique style of gameplay. And not to step on anyone's toes, I don't think we should try coming up with new abilities or talents for the Chronomancer, as it is
ruleofthumb's idea.
Perhaps a poll or some other sort of vote is in order in this situation...

Hmmm. I've made up notes for a Sorcerer class, I'll link 'em in Google Docs and see what y'all think.
Hero Class - Sorcerer (Spell names suck due to a lack of imagination)Perhaps we could fine-tune this?
