No problem here. At one swoop they've fixed the whining on both sides about the other ("Pallies make Alliance overpowered in PvE!!" "Shamans make Horde overpowered in Pvp!") and cast existing content in an entirely new strategic light. Since there's only a single race on each side that can play the new classes, the population of each will go to fairly low levels after the initial surge of novelty has worn off. Yes, the lore is screwed up (I would have gone with Night Elf shamans and Orc paladins myself if I was a dev, but obviously I'm not), but then again lore contradicts itself fifteen times a day in any case. The expansion just made things a whole lot more interesting as far as I'm concerned...
Burning Crusade gives WoW players Alliance shamans, Horde paladins
