Here we go again!!! First of all I think we need a sticky for this question. (Do we even have sticky capability on these boards?)
Now as to what you should do...
As has been said here by many others both wiser and more experienced than me, play a character that you're going to enjoy. Don't choose something because it's the *best* for this or that aspect of the game.
IMHO, there are no wrong answers. Since you can have 8 characters at one time on any server, go ahead and experiment. Try out several things and you will get a feel for the way the game plays while you're finding out what kind of character you enjoy playing.
You will also develop an appreciation for what the other character types have to deal with for having walked a mile in their shoes.
Never be afraid to ask questions in game, everyone was a newbie at some point and nobody is going to look down on you for being a beginner. In fact, most of us are happy you chose to share this addiction and would be happy to help.
As soon as you are comfortable with the basics, begin your newbie armor quest. the rewards aren't bad and the experience is very helpful. (details for these can be found in the Quest section of this site.)
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, join Allakhazam as a premium member ASAP! There is a wealth of information here and it is well worth the cost.
And last but not least, check this thread:

He has come up with what I feel is the definative answer to your question.
Good luck and let us know how you're doing!
