Melee combat is a primary meathod of attack featured in several classes, (Warrior, Shammy (depends on spec) ,Palidan, Druid (depends on Spec), rogue, and Death Knight
What i have found is that taking a page from rogue combat is to stay behind your opponent, keeping behind him/her/it can be difficult as they will move trying to get u away or face you to attack, DON"T LET THEM, if u can keep up with them and stay behind you can do damage without taking it yourself, i have found that this can be an effective way to take on enemys higher lvl there yourself and at teh very least severly wound them, if you die.
another is to keep on the move, ranged has teh advantage over you should you be far away and if they keep that distant they will pound you into dust, so get them close to you not matter what,
I created a "Blitzkreig" Style attack for Fel a while back when he still had scatter shot stun and i still use it to a degree,
What you do is charge headlong at your target mounted and then jump over them and while in mid air above them hit them with either a stun or a movement retricting attack, then either while in the air should you be fast enough or once you hit the ground spin around and stay behind them and take them down.
should you need a demonstration of this tactic just ask me and ill show you,
a degree of stealth can be taken with ANY class not just the rogue or cat druid, a warrior hiding behind a tall rock then charging at a passing enemy will work as long as they don't see you/target you or have a hunter (or your target is a hunter) to see you via tracking.
Depending on spec and class stuns or movement slowing/stoping attacks are your best freind, simply keep your target stationary or not turnign tward you will help
not to melee who mostly use a sinlge weapon and not duel weild
several classes or class specs have teh ability to disarm you for a period of time, within that time you are unarmed and your damaged is GREATLY reduced so basically it almost like your weapon got switched to a squeeky hammer or somthing lol,
MM hunter (like myself) will take advantage of this, but i have yet to see and enemy horde MM hunter use the scorpid sting/chimera shot disarm combo, nor have i see other alli hunters do it besides maybe Del. Rogues, and even mages have a ability to disarm (although i belive for mages its fire spec, and similar to a debuff yet i forget teh name) SO HOLD ON TO YOUR WEAPON!
as i continue to refine melee combat with Overrmind and others ill ad tot he list. so use these tips well and kick some butt!
