Welcome back! RoR is better than ever and there has been so many awesome additions since you last played.
White Lion has peaked my interest as well and I just started a new character today to try it out. They get bonuses from attacking from the sides and behind a lot, and their lion pet can be used as a distraction/tank, as the main dps threat, or you can attack together and both be a threat.
As for Witch Elf - that was my very first character class way back when WAR released. And boy is that class super fun. Unfortunately, they only have female Witch Elves, so if you are a guy it ruins the immersion. But still, if you like Rogue/Assassin type classes, you will love this class. You get poisons and massive crits, can stealth and do really high dmg. Some of the daggers you get to wield are the best looking weapon models in the game and the armor sets are awesome. I highly recommend this class just because it is really fun and I enjoyed it on live immensely.
Truth be told, I never play female characters because I am a male. If I am playing an MMORPG, I am playing to BE my character in this game world. I am a huge Rogue player in WoW, so I picked WE because it was what I knew. Even as a female character, I played a bit and eventually really liked it and didn't mind playing as a female character. At some point your brain switches and instead of playing AS this character who is supposed to be you, you can look past it and it becomes more like any other game and you can still be immersed.
Welcome back and I hope you have a great time! Right now, except for a few dungeons and scenarios, RoR has everything Live had, plus lots of extra stuff too. Both Greenskin and Dwarf capital cities are full implemented with tons of quests and PQs and rares as well.
Have fun! S!
