im thinking in lvling a pally or a warrior, but i dont know if i want to protect (pally) or do pure DPS (warrior). i´ve read some topics about them and many players say that pallys r sooooo boring and warriors r the worst pvp class. i would be glad to hear from more people what they think about lvling this classes.

It's all about opinion, but I'll tell you right now that Warriors being the "worst pvp class" is like Scissors being the worst choice in Rock-paper-scissors.
I found my paladin to be generally boring to level up, but I did do it solo. Playing with a friend will make it easier, and more enjoyable. I suggest just trying both out and seeing.

/agree
you may want to level to at least 30 because that's when the game mechanics start to kick in
paladins and warriors are VERY gear dependant
give your character the best weapon for their level and it shouldn't be too boring, at level 20, with verigan's fist i can kill faster than any non-twink DPS class

Warriors the worst PvP class? Are you kidding? Mortal strike warriors are, like, my bane. D: That said, if you have PvP in mind, keep in mind that as a paladin you'll probably have to be a healer to be viable (though Retribution has come a long way, Paladin healers are crazy good for arenas and battlegrounds), and in PvE you may be pigeon-holed into a healing role if you want to raid, as Paladins are perfect healers for endurance fights.
Warriors make excellent tanks (obviously) and in PvP there are few things that frighten me more than a smart MS warrior, but fury warrior DPS isn't the best for grouping in PvE (though this is arguable, I'd rather not get into it), and that because most servers have a gigantic tank shortage, you may end up taking that role.

To be effective as an MS Warrior, you need crazy gear. Anything else, and you are not cutting it. They scale best with gear, but that gear can take quite some time to get. Warriors are probably the best long-term class you can get, as again, they scale best with gear. If you are looking to do 5 mans, expect to Tank. There isn't much room for DPS Warriors out there. If you are spec'd Protection, farming and grinding becomes rather difficult. In addition, warriors only make for the best raid tanks. For 5 mans, Protection Paladins and Feral Druids are actually a lot better.
For PvP, Holy spec is what you are looking to do. Ret is ok, but don't expect to compete in the upper brackets. The only exception to this is perhaps on a 5v5 team...Ret Pally burst dmg is equivalent to an MS Warrior's..but have mana and longetivity is often an issue with them. For PvE, Ret Pallys are equally if not more despised than DPS Warriors. If you like to PvE, spec Protection or Holy....you will be gladly invited as a healer or a tank. BTW, Protection Paladins are one of the best "grinders" in the game.
Hope this helps.
