"Please explain all the classes" type questions are overly broad and usually won't convince other players to spend the time it would take to give a detailed answer. If you can be a little more specific about what you want to know or discuss you will probably get more helpful replies.
Every class and spec falls somewhere into one of the damage-dealer/tank/healer categories with some classes having more choices than others. What exactly about their similarities and differences in each role do you need to know that isn't covered by basic class descriptions? Also what sort of setting are you interested in; players with the same class and spec will still have very different behaviors soloing vs in a group vs in a raid?

Thanks that's a little more specific. Unfortunately I'm still a bit confused. Do you mean how would you as an individual play different classes with the same role differently to keep the game interesting or are you wondering how to make your class stand out from other players with the same role in a group?

Druid, Shaman, and Pally are the Hybrid classes that, with a respec and different items, can fufill DPS, Healing, and Tanking. Although not sure about Shamans tanking.

Yeah Shaman tanking isn't really an option in difficult content. Instead of the choice between healing, tanking and damage dealing they can effectively choose between healing, melee range physical damage, and ranged magical damage.
No, I mean if you were a World of Warcraft designer, what would you do to make different classes that fill the same role different-- even if you want to break it down to each tree.
Oh I see, sorry for the confusion. Let me pull together a proper response to your question then.
And before anyone "WTF! NUB!1111 L0CKS DNT BUFF!1111 LRN2PLAY NUB"s at me, I would like to see a bit of demon aura buff come in to the game, just without overdoing other classes buffs (eg Priests "fortitude"), it would add another level to being a demo lock.
Good idea, they could call it
Fel Intelligence
and make it a felhunter ability or something. ;-P
