Hi all!

Bit of a random question.

Looking to get some views on which toon I should level up next. The toon will be the one I will play second to my main, both now and in MoP.
The major thing I am keen to know which would be better for soloing content - eg dungeons, etc. Im leaning toward DK, but Pallys also have tricks up their sleeves as well. Given that mounts are shared across all toons in MoP, I want a character that can go and easily solo content for mounts, etc.

Obviously it is going to be used to bot on, so also keen to know which class has a better CCs.

Thanks!

I have both a paladin (prot / ret) and a DK (blood / frost). If I had to choose, knowing what I know now, I'd go with the DK. The paladin CCs right now, for prot at least, feel sort of awkward and lackluster. I'm currently using either CLU or Singular to tank with my DK and it's fantastic. Not to mention you don't have to start from level one. You start from level 55, which gives you a decent head start on getting to 85 to begin your farming. Once you reach 85, and you spec into blood for tanking / soloing content, you'll want to stack as much mastery as you can find. You've probably read up on what it does for blood DKs. All in all, I much prefer DK over paladin. If my paladin wasn't maxed in enchanting, I'd delete it and start something else. Just not feeling paladins since the CCs aren't that great.

All of the ones that haven't been archived. I haven't found one that's been satisfactory to me, personally. But, then again, I'm not used to playing a paladin. My two mains are a DK and a Hunter.
 
I'm having way less issues tanking with a pally then I do with the DK, both using singular in a full 5 man group running dungeonbuddy.
 
In case you want to solo old content I would go with a DK. Trust me, the AoE on those is insane, mix that with the tankiness they have and you get a win-win combination for sure. Also Blood DKs have higher dmg output than prot paladins imo. Ofc there will be people who disagree with me but looking at the whole picture DK is better for soloing, especially old content because of the AoE.
