I heartily recommend Warlocks. They've always been my favorite ranged class.

Yes I did have an authenticator but it was a key logger.
Uh, what? Do you even know what you're talking about?

My vote goes to druid as well. And you did certainly not have an authenticator, because then, keyloggers won't hack you anything (unless the hacker is your brother and stole your authenticator). You should probably

Fine, I'll feed you.
When typing my password, a keylogger might record my keystrokes into a log file and send the log to a 3rd party. Without another authentication device, an account hijacker needs only my account email and the password to log into my account.
The authenticator is a device that works to prevent account theft, especially thefts that result from keylogger infection. I could have 20 keyloggers recording my keystrokes, but until someone can successfully guess the six digit (eight on iPhone) code the authenticator generates, no one except me is getting into my account. Coupled with the fact that too many failed consecutive log-ins causes a temporary inability to log into your account, the authenticator is the closest thing to a perfect safeguard that is possible.
Now, do you mind explaining how your account was compromised while you were using your authenticator?
Edit: I vote druid. Mine is awesome.

Emcor trojan?
The authenticator is strong but not a panacea. It falls to an active man-in-the-middle attack.

So an authenticator and an updated anti-virus program would have prevented your problem. If you were hacked, then wouldn't Blizzard understand that someone stole your account, then attempted to use a 3rd party program, or did someone get caught and now they are making excuses...
Anyway, nobody has said it, its a solid dps if that is all you want to do, mage. Go frost spec, its easy, does good dps, great survivability, and you get easy traveling and free food.

I'm well aware of emcor.dll, but so is every virus definition file available.

I vote Warlock, although if you're looking for versatility then definitely go with a shammy. However, I used to play a melee class, started playing a lock in BC, and I haven't looked back. I absolutely LOVE my warlock. He's hands-down my favorite character, despite leveling literally everything to 80-85 except a warrior.
You get a pet, 3 viable dps specs, fear, fear bomb, banish, health stones, soulstone, debuffs (like weakness, tongues, elements)... it's so fun to play and gives you a lot of tools.
