I commend you on playing as many races and classes as possible (see my above confession that I reroll a lot), because they all have a different flavour. Particularly classes, because you see it in the gameplay, but the races, even when you’re playing the same class between them, feel unique.

Also, keep yourself observant as you travel through the game, there’s lots of funny little visual treats you’ll spot or read (like programmed NPC scripts). There’s jokes and references and atmosphere everywhere that really contribute to the game as a whole.

I never noticed that Mulgore is that much bigger than all the other starting zones. Durotar is equally “wide open” when it comes down to it. I’ve played many, many newbie characters, because I enjoy starting them (and because I’ve never really managed to get above level 39) and what I’ve observed is getting to various areas in the different starting zones for quests takes about the same amount of time.

Anyway. I also had to comment that Shaman aren’t necessarily casters. You can do a good bit of damage meleeing too, plus you can heal yourself, which is convienent. In a lot of other games, I know the hybrids are unbalanced, it’s not so much here. Setting down your stoneskin totem will help a lot.
