What are the least played classes on both factions? Druids?
I’m sure you could google it, but off the top of my head I’d say Locks and maybe Druids.
Druid, Shaman, and Paladin are the normal least played. First go around that is.

Least played or least represented in raids?
Druid, warlock, hunter are all low tier
Paladin,Priest,Shaman low tier unless healing then top tier
Rogue,warrior,mage top tier
If your goal is to be a special snowflake you should probably be warned that the least played classes will also be the least brought to raid. You should also know that the servers will be so big there will be plenty of them anyway and you may just have trouble finding a raid.
In early Vanilla yes. The faction specific classes (Paladin and Shaman) both out numbered druid. Paladin always outnumbered druid’s and Shaman fell to even with druids by the end of Vanilla.
Druids were not weak in the beginning. They were just not fully understood by a lot of players and poor itemization didnt help any. The itemization improved somewhat and people learned that the different forms made the class unique and fun.
By time the beta for TBC came around Druid was decently represented. Then TBC went overboard and everyone and their babysitter rolled a druid.
not trying to be special lol! Yeesh what made you so angry haha wow! Im not even raiding im just doing bg’s.
This isn’t entirely true. If you’re looking at poll numbers that aren’t faction-specific, you need to cut the population of each class in half to compare them to shaman/paladin. Most polls I’ve seen put shaman/paladin at second or third most played class for their respective factions.

This is wrong. Shaman and Paladin will be perhaps the second most represented classes behind warriors. When you look at numbers, sure they may come in at 8% each while warriors are closer to 18%, most other classes bouncing between 9-13%. But when you consider they are faction specific, that means Shamans on Horde are going to be double the representation of their overall representation, same with Paladin from alliance. The roughly 12% of rogue player base includes both alliance and horde rogues, which means out of the entire player base 6% are Alliance Rogues and 6% are Horde rogues. Of the 8% of Shamans, they’re only Horde Shaman, which means they’ll be representing about 16% of the population of Horde while rogues are only at 12.
Everyone wants to be a Shaman or Paladin. The modern game has made pure classes so simple, stupid, and boring people think they’re interested in a hybrid class.
edit
From what I’ve seen in rough numbers and personally predicted, hunters will be one of the least played classes.
