Hi everyone!
So, I got my girlfriend addicted to WoW recently. We leveled up a druid/pally combo to 60 in a matter of weeks, and we are both thinking of making the most of our 3x exp bonus by leveling as many alts to 60 as possible until our time runs out in early August. She is thinking of making a hunter for the next combo, and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good class to partner with the hunter. Or, if you have any other combos that have worked well together in the past. I'm looking for most well rounded in PvP and PvE cases.
Any advice or comments is greatly appreciated!

shadow priest / mage
warrior / enhancement shaman
and then of course:
rogue / rogue
Paladins can do a little bit of everything, all while giving good party buffs. And mad mana regen.
Warriors are pretty bad because they need rage to function properly and don't offer any real buffs other than the occasional shout.
If you're lazy enough you can use two computers side by side and controls sharing software. It works wonders with hunters, because they can assist you, send their pet on your target, use auto-shot, viper sting and follow your other character, all in a single spammable macro.
Druids can make a spammable moonfire macro but it's not nearly as good because they'll run out of mana very fast.
I'm thinking any class with instant cast spells with small cooldowns could do that.
I think some classes have two spells that chain very well, where the second spell is a long cast and requires a debuff from the first. Maybe you could have one guy casting the slow spell on an enemy, and a second one to cast the debuff spell right before the slow spell hits.
In any case it's pretty fast to get to lvl 60 with the recruit a friend bonus no matter which classes you use so use the class you want to be playing post-60.
A mage might be fun, though I think during normal questing you'll probably feel like you can hardly get a spell off before the hunter kills shit. In fact, you'll probably feel that way with almost anything other than another hunter.
I'd also like to second doing a rogue/rogue combo at some point. So much fun. A friend and I did that combo back in the days before Blizzard nerfed all the elite content in the old lands. As in, Dun Murogh (I think that's the name... that dwarven fortress in Hillsbrad) was loaded up with elite dwarves who respawned like DAYUM... and we sneaked through that place, picking off dwarves and snatching up the quest items we needed to collect. It was fantastic.
Druid/Rogue - Stealth kills and support from the druid. Lots of options here. Bear tank and rogue stab, rogue tanks and druid heals...
Druid/Druid - Same as above, lots of options for this combo.
Warlock/Hunter - 2 pets, its basically a party of 4 with huge damage output. Will wreck most outdoor questing. I suggest for leveling the Hunter goes BM and Warlock goes Destro.
Hunter/Hunter and Hunter/Warlock also works very well. They both level very fast on their own in the first place, but when you both have pets it's a small army.
