I'll get right to the point with this one:
Arcane-Use Arcane Blast x3, then arcane Barrage, rinse and repeat.

Fire-Fireball, Living Bomb, Pyroblast, and Scorch to apply 5 stacks of Improved Scorch to the target, making sure to cast it every 30 seconds to keep it up.
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?mage=00000000000000000000000000000003550000123033310531203013510530030013030000000000000000&glyph=161808020608&version=9637
Frost-Nothing but Frostbolts, and Fireball when you get the Brain Freeze effect. Cast Water Elemental and Icy Veins when their up.
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?mage=23000500310000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000533030313133100230152231351&glyph=101808010608&version=9637

Priests
Here's the talent guide for the Priest class.
Discipline is the priests optimal PvP spec, you gain survivability, and keeping others alive as well.
Casting Penance, Renew, and Flash Heals as needed.
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?priest=150320313050251233132303125123050100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000&glyph=051215030602&version=9637
Who said Priests only heal? Shadow Priests can be a great raid aspect with replenishment effects. A good rotation is Vampiric Embrace, Vampiric Touch, Shadow Word: Pain, Devouring Plague, Mind Blast, and Mind Flay. When the target is below 35% health, feel free to cast Shadow Word: Death, but be careful to watch your health.

For Holy, refer to the healer post.

Healers
This post won't really cover rotations, as healing moves to use is obvious.
Paladin-Haste and Crit are invaluable for Paladins. Using Glyph of Seal of Light or Glyph of Seal of Wisdom depends on what you think you need to improve more, healing or mana efficiency.
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?paladin=503501503200130531025012510000000000000000000000005032050003000000000000000&glyph=081119040603&version=9626
Priest-Circle of Healing and Prayer of Mending are the moves used the most, but flash heals are to be used as well.
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?priest=050320300000000000000000000003505103030015253105331351000000000000000000000000000&glyph=012113020603&version=9626
Shaman-Riptide and Chain Heal are most important, but Healing Wave and Lesser Healing Wave are used on the tank accordingly.
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?shaman=00000000000000000000000000050503300000000000000000000050035311055010501122331251&glyph=200401060302&version=9626

Druids, the Furry Ones.
Druids are one of those classes that can fill all 3 rolls, Tank, Damage, and Healing.
Damage- Feral(Cat) or Balance
Tank- Feral(Bear)
Healing- Restoration...duh
Here is the Cat dps spec. Rotation is Mangle, Rake, Shred x 3, then Rip. A lot of you dmg is gonna be bleeds, and you're using Shred so stay at a position where its usable.
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?druid=0000000000000000000000000000503202132322010053120031313511005503012000000000000000000&glyph=181710030106&version=9626
Moonkin, the caster dmg side of a Druid. While in Moonkin form, Insect Swarm, Moonfire, Starfire, Wrath is a decent rotation to use. Starfall can be used if needed.
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?druid=5032103125331033213005311031000000000000000000000000000000205003312000000000000000000&glyph=202219050706&version=9626
Bear tanks are rather efficient, good dodge and high health, as well as being automatically defense capped without bonuses from gear, meaning you can put more into Stamina. Mangle whenever available, apply your 5 Lacerates, and Maul. You also have the nice "oh crap" buttons, Barkskin and Survival Instincts just in case. For Pulls with multiple enemies, I like spamming swipe.
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?druid=0000000000000000000000000000503232130322010353120300013511005503012000000000000000000&glyph=031110020406&version=9626
Restoration Druids use the Tree of Life form and specialize in Heal over Time spells, and can make very effective healers for raid healing, but they can also do Main Tank healing.
This one is simple, use Rejuvenation, Regrowth, and Lifebloom as needed, lifebloom stacks as well. Wild Growth is great for healing multiple party members at once.
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?druid=0532003100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000230503312031502531350013051&glyph=152116070406&version=9626

Ret Pallies and You!
Perhaps one of the most overpowered things in WoW, the almighty Retribution Paladin.
-Use Slow 2hand weapons
-no spell power gear
-Seal of Command for PvP or Leveling
-Seal of the Martyr(Alliance) or Blood(Horde) for raiding.
-Rotation: Judgement, Crusader Strike, Divine Storm, and Consecrate for best results, pop Divine Plea whenever possible to replenish mana quickly. If your target is undead feel free to throw Exorcism and Holy Wrath whenever possible. Hammer of Wrath when you can when target is below 35% health.
-Ret Pally build:

Let me clear something up about Warriors.
When I am bored, I sometimes check out other realms to see whats going on there, and to show my pro skills. Whilst on one of these servers, I saw a very interesting discussion about Warriors and whether they should dual-wield or use a 2h weapon, in the general chat of Elwynn Forest.
Most of them were way off.
Perhaps I can prevent you from making the wrong choices. 2-Hand weapons for PvP, Dual-Wield for killing NPC's. Simple, yes? Yet many get that wrong in their heads.
Arms, While a perfectly viable raiding spec, it is vastly superior in PvP. Your main move, Mortal Strike, causes a percentage of weapon damage plus an amount. Obviously having a slow weapon with high weapon damage yields the best results. Alot of people will try to dual-wield with this spec because of Bladestorm, which is a whirlwind that lasts longer than normal. Yes, whirlwind does dmg from both weapons, but when bladestorm is on its 1 1/2 minute cooldown, your mortal strikes meanwhile are gimped.
Here are the talent points. The weapon specialization is your choice.
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?warrior=302230012333510003221203031251325000133010000000000000000000000000000000000000000000&glyph=111806010302&version=9626
Fury, best Raiding spec, not as good at PvP than Arms. 2 slow 2-hand weapons are good for this build. I would recommend for a dps cycle, Bloodthirst, Whirlwind, and when Bloodthrist crtitically hits, use slam.
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?warrior=302230012330000000000000000000305020005500312053120501351000000000000000000000000000&glyph=210306010302&version=9626

Tanks and You.
I know I only put up the specs for dps in raids, so I'm going to show you the talents for the tanks.
Death Knight- Go Frost, its the best tanking spec of the three trees, which obvious if you look at it. Rotation for abilities should be Icy Touch, Plague strike, Pestilence, Blood Boil, then Howling Blast, Frost Strike to dump your Runic Power. Works out rather well for AoE tanking. With the new Rune of the Stoneskin Gargoyle, 2h tanking is the way to go.
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deathknight=00540210000000000000000000003050505105003101030125131351005000000000000000000000000000&glyph=111619040506&version=9626
Warrior- Apply your 5 Sunder Armor, Shield Slam, Revenge when it pops up, Devastate, then Shockwave.
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?warrior=050030000000000000000000000000305000000000000000000000000053351025003012521330113321&glyph=051902020605&version=9626
Paladin- Keep your Holy Shield up, Shield of Righteousness, and use Judgement whenever possible(Seal of Righteousness). Pull with Avenger's Shield.
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?paladin=050020000000000000000000005305350031523133331232150200000000000000000000000&glyph=171220050401&version=9626

When boredom sets in, I turn to the Spirits.
As you can plainly see, I'm bored. So I will regale you all with yet another WoW raid guide, this time for the Shaman!
First, pick your Race. For Alliance it shouldn't be too hard to decide on a race...seeing as only one exists that can play a Shaman, Draenei. For the Horde side, I'd still go with Orcs because of their Blood Fury racial to give a bonus to Attack Power or Spell Power.
Next, the heart of the subject, the placing of Talent Points. There are 2 possibilities to choose from Enhancement (melee), or Elemental (caster). Elemental is very nice, but in my opinion for the more end-game raids, Enhancement pulls ahead.
For Elemental it's obvious what you'll be using as far as equipment, but for Enhancement, using 2 slow one-handed weapons is the way to go. Obviously, seeing as the staple of your damage, Stormstrike, causes weapon damage from both weapons, so why wouldn't you dual-wield?
Now for ability rotations.
Elemental- (While having Flametongue Weapon on your weapon) Flame Shock, Lightning Bolts until your Flame Shock DoT is almsot out, then Lava Burst.
Enhancement- (while having Windfury Weapon on the Main Hand, and Flametongue Weapon on the Off-Hand) Stormstrike, Earth Shock, Flame Shock, Lava Lash.
Here are the Talent Builds I designed for the Shaman Raid dps in you.
Elemental
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?shaman=55300015011133513125013510050503300000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000&glyph=081215060403&version=9626
Enhancement
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?shaman=25003015000000000000000000050503310502133303113123105100000000000000000000000000&glyph=211613020103&version=9626
Enjoy. Remember, don't make me get the Tuna.

Freakin' Warlocks...
Here we go, time to show you how to play a Warlock.
If you're leveling, Demonology would be the ideal way to go, due to its increased pet power and survivability. Something like this would be a good spec to work to for the WotLK players.

For PvP, Affliction is just great, it enhances your Damage Over Time spells to the max. Nuff said, people hate DoTs. Here is something I cooked up for the PvP locks out there.

Now for the good stuff, Warlock Raiding. Destruction is THE raiding spec, it just dishes out the damage. Destruct Locks used to have a choice in Burning Crusade, Fire or Shadow, seeing as you could put points in either direction, but seeing as Warlocks that want the new Chaos Bolt move can't get Demonic Sacrifice anymore, which was a great increase in dmg, I believe fire is better.
Your dps cycle for bosses should be Immolate, Incinerate until you have a couple seconds left on you Immolate DoT then cast Conflagrate. All the while casting Chaos Bolt when its off cooldown. Use Curse of Elements helps you and the whole raid out. Keep your imp out as well.
Here is the Destruction Raid spec I came up with.

If you're leveling, Demonology would be the ideal way to go, due to its increased pet power and survivability. Something like this would be a good spec to work to for the WotLK players.

Huntards, the art of shooting stuff.
Due to popular demand, which just means Hazmat, I am to do a guide to the raiding of a hunter, which also coincides with leveling.
Beast Master is THE way to go, its easy for leveling as your pet is a nice personal tank, and its good for raiding as the damage your pet does is just stupid.
If you don't like Beast Mastery, Survival is THE alternative to it for raiding. Beast Mastery is also not a very good thing for PvP, as you are pretty much crippled if they kill your pet, and your shot against other players are just weaksauce.
Due to the fact that your pet is the big source of dmg here, your choice of pet is crucial, no scorpions or pigs please. If you have Wrath of the Lich King, and got exotic Beast Training(which you should have) The Mighty Devilsaur is the best dps pet so far, its Monstrous Bite gives it a 3% increased damage buff for 12 seconds that stacks up to 3 times for a whopping 9%, and can be done every 10 seconds, so as long as it hits, it should always be up.
For those that are still using Burning Crusade pets, go for a Cat or Wind Serpent, as they are about even as far as dmg output.
The best hunters are of course, Orcs. C'mon, a racial 5% increased pet damage, and a 15 sec. Attack Power buff that scales with every level? How can you beat that for a hunter? If you decided to pick something else, Troll is the alternative for the Horde, and Dwarf for the Alliance, as they have Ranged Weapon Specializations that give them a slight advantage.
Now for the serious stuff, dps cycle. Steady Shot mixed in with Auto-Shots is the way to go, and remember to hit your cooldowns whenever they're available. Steady Shot is simply an amazing ability due to its high damage, and low mana cost, stacking haste further improves the value of this skill as it has a cast time. Rapid Fire+Steady Shot spree can be quite destructive.
Here is a Beast Master raiding spec that I cooked up for ye fellows.

The Art of Roguecrafting in Raids(Combat, Slow weapon).
Now I've been playing a Rogue for over 3 years now, so I'm pretty sure I know all there is to know about them. So heres my thoughts on raiding as a Rogue.
First off, before you think about stacking Attack Power, like all the cool kids do, Agility is the primary attribute to a rogue, not AP, unless you plan on doing PvP and not raiding. AP is nice, but Agility gives both AP and Crit Rating and stacks with Blessing of Kings, unlike AP. The other VERY important stat to a Rogue is Hit Rating, which because of their Dual Wielding, require a hell of alot of. The Burning Crusade Hit Cap was 363 to never miss. Ya I know it's crazy. Now I don't expect you get too close to that, as it could completely gimp your other stats. I personally floathed at around 280-300 and managed to top DPS all the time, almost never missing.
A very important thing to stress to all who plan on playing as a Rogue, NO COMBAT DAGGERS! Combat Daggers is perhaps the most useless spec thats ever been invented that people still insist on using, don't do it! This brings me to some certain commandmants to a being a raiding Rogue.
The optimal raid spec is Combat Swords, followed by Fist/Sword, followed by Fists, then Maces, which i will provide a link for down below. Your main hand weapon must also be a slow one, as Sinister Strike, which is your main move, deals Weapon Damage plus X. Your Off Hand weapon, in contrast to the main hand, must be a fast one, for reason of a talent called Combat potency, gives a successful off-hand melee auto attack a 20% chance to give 15 energy, more energy=more combo moves=more finishers.
Because of Combat potency, it is said that for each .1 seconds faster an off hand weapon is, you can effectively add 10 dps to the weapons given dps.
Here is the link to the good Combat raiding spec with Killing Spree (which does work with Blade Flurry btw). I chose Fists only because that's what I'm using right now.

Enjoy, I'll be putting more classes up later.
