With the way Domains are set up now, I want a Complete Priest Handbook 4e style. Specialized priest all the way baby!
I'd love to see an Essentials Shaman. Bard would be neat too. Barbarian (as a Berserker) would be cool. A stance based caster could be really interesting. Maybe as a summoner. I was contemplating that as an Ess-Shaman would be a neat idea. Your stance is the spirit you take on.
I'd really like to see Gnomes, though really just the either/or ability score is all we'd need for them. In fact, an Essential style ability score thing for all the PHB2 races. And that would be enough for me, since PHB 1-3 races are pretty much fine as is.

I'd like to see a Swordmage build with stances that mimic the existing Aegises, and using Sword Burst as the primary attack. Alternatively Sword Burst as the primary attack and stances that modify it. Either one could easily become overpowered, so they would have to be careful.
The main reason I want it is that my existing Swordmage can be very effective (if I ever stop rolling 1s) but is very difficult to play, in the sense that you really can't let your attention wander from the combat for a moment -- so many of the best abilities are immediate actions and highly situational. The second reason is that truly very few of the current powers available appeal to me very much. I go through a lot of combats only ever using Sword Burst and one or maybe two encounter powers.

I hope they soon do the gnome update to ability scores as a Dragon article and update the Character Builder accordingly.
