Out of these 2 which will have easiest time leveling to 80 on Early Access and also has good spot for doing dungeons and such ?

Shadow priest has the ability to provide additional healing, the ability to swap healer role if needed, high survival played well, and a good skill ceiling.
On the otger hand frost mage is a mage.
My vote is shadow but that is healer bias, but frost magic is pretty cool.

what exactly is a good skill ceiling? i am right now trying to decide if i should do priest and play a healer/ shadow or a rogue with the only other possibility a dk. Given ive already picked 1 or 2 out of 3 classes i plan on end gaming. set is my shaman always loved shaman. Im really good at assasination but pretty terrible at other rogue specs dk is easy to play and priest seems easy but real pain in the butt with dot times
I haven’t played my S-priest in a while so I cant speak to that but with the latest patches my Arcane Mage is total garbage. I was leveling her in BfA and struggled to kill quest mobs. Did a bunch of research in spell rotation and it’s still garbage. However, my Destruction Warlocks are kicking some monster butts thou 
You should manup and play as melee.
Leveling will be fast no matter what. Both will be invited to groups for different purposes. Play the one that you enjoy more–isn’t that what matters?
absolutley not the onethat matters is the top one tht i am terrible at but makes me feel special because i can half play it.
frost
sp is undertuned
frost is S god tier atm
(and you dont have to limite yourself only to frost spells, you have frostfire hero talent which is awesome)

Frost mage all the way. But that is a biased opinion. Shadow priest can be played well if you know how to do it… which I do not, but others do, and they like it.
whatever is fun for you 
Don’t be fooled by all the content creators scrambling to make interesting videos about this xpac so they’re releasing canned, “top 5 main picks” clickbait.
It’s too early to tell what’s good or bad. And it’s subject to change by the time classes receive more nurfs before the raid even opens up.

Frost Mage for pure DPS with 2 other DPS spec options. Elemental Shaman and Shadow Priest if you ever want to swap to a healer spec (can be beneficial for queue times), or simply have the option to off-heal and resurrect others. (Shaman also lets you play a melee spec in Enhancement.)
In consideration they are looking at leveling I put survival but more to point, shadow can be quite a bit more complex. So it’s ceiling can be easy with simple talents or raised with more complex. We can raise it further with the support potential being a hybrid may ask of it in group content.
So Frost mage it is ?

both frost and ele sham are S tier and meta, both easy and fun.
ele can heal and help the team, if you play group content
mage is pure dps with only crowd control to help
shadow is undertuned, boring and the worst dps in the game right now, and no, it aint changing this patch, maybe in 11.1 but you’ll wait months for that, not worth it, play frost or ele, what you like more
(I will be leveling a mage then a shaman, playing both, leveling is way easier and fast now, dont worry about it, they’re both valuabe in groups, but with different utilites like I said above)
