Favorite Class?

Just wondering, what do you all think is the most entertaining, in-depth class? I've played mostly rogues since Vanilla, but it's just losing its spark with the lack of anything interesting happening; it receives little favorable attention from Blizzard anymore that it just doesn't feel like the class I used to play.
To outline some of the classes I've experimented on in the past year:
Warrior: This is an amazing class, especially if you level prot. Not to diss a great class, but wow, I feel extremely overpowered specced as prot. I mean, PvE is one thing, but I almost never die in PvP. It's ludicrous; I have way more stamina than any other class, and the only people that tend to kill me are other tanks (particularly prot paladins).
Hunter: There is something about playing a hunter that always seemed attractive, but once you're actually there it lacks the same rush that other classes do, in my opinion. While leveling I was always the highest DPS in dungeons, and at 85 I felt more balanced with other classes than I had ever been. It really does depend on skill, and I enjoyed that.
Warlock: The most appealing caster class to me, but something makes me feel gimped the entire time I'm playing it. Leveling it wasn't particularly hard, but there was a strong sense of dullness that I didn't get with, say, my hunter, whose leveling strategy wasn't really all that different from a lock's. Firstly, my damage sucked compared to other classes 1-70. It was a rather depressing experience to have BoAs + gear with enchants, but still only managing to (sometimes) be 2nd on DPS. At 85, I felt that the class didn't have much to offer that it didn't at 60, and there was a general lack of appeal to any one spec.
Druid: By far the most versatile class, but somehow one of the least enjoyable. I felt like each spec is a shallow copy of pure classes. Not to say that I couldn't get the job done just as well as others, but, for example, Moonkin has, at most, 4 or 5 abilities that I would regularly use in instances. Feral was like playing a rogue (not going to say that I think ferals are OP after that experience for the sake of not offending people...oh %^&*, they can hear me), but I really just went durrhurraburr form whenever I was about to die in any situation. Restoration was the most appealing to me, as I enjoy druid healing, so far, more than any other class I have experienced.
Mage: The most entertaining caster class, as well as the most PvP-savvy (for now, anyway). Doing level 50-70 Alterac Valley was just about the most amusing experience I've had. In dungeons, I feel more useful as a DPS than I have with any other class because of the vast array of potentially useful abilities at my disposal. While casters aren't necessarily my cup of tea, the mage would be my first choice despite not being my favorite.
This wasn't exactly an in-depth review, just the brim of the feelings I had for the classes I played around with. What do you think is the most fun class, and why?

I don't really have a favorite class so much as a least favorite class. Rogues are my least favorite. Tried to level one a few different times, just never really got into them.

Death Knight: I really enjoy Frost. I like the really big numbers that come from it.
Paladin: Holy power is interesting, but Retribution is still kinda under powered.
Warlock: I really, really love Destro. A lot. It's my favorite caster class/spec. I love the huge numbers but larger cooldowns rather than the DoT method of Affliction.

Let's just talk Mage, because I love my Frost Mage Main.
We can make food.
We can make Portals and teleport ourselves.
We can Blink, CC, Spellsteal, Interrupt.
I really love my Mage.
Cheers.

Warrior. Ever since making one at the beginning of BC, I've been hooked.
