A:

1. I will read CC as Control instead of Crowd Control, and say the Necromancer has the most.
2. Against a single target, the Thief has the highest burst damage potential and possibly the fastest kill potential. The Elementalist has the highest AoE potential and is more likely to kill multiple enemies faster.
3. All of them have their learning curve, though I can say that the Elementalist is generally viewed as the hardest to learn. As for easiest, it will probably be Guardian.
4. Now this is dependent on you! No one else can really answer this question, so try them all out to lvl 20 until you find the one you enjoy playing.

You are wrong about thief burst. In theory, it was proved that S/D ele has the highest theoretical burst, eles can get 94K while thieves can get 86K or something like that. That being said burst thief is much easier to play well than S/D ele.

Anyway:
Ele is the hardest to use, and its fun but can become tiring after a while in my opinion. Guardians are def the easiest (warriors are the only thing easier) and are useful in all of the games content. Necro is in the middle in terms of difficulty, since you have to learn how to position yourself correctly (don’t gallop into the middle of a group fight) since you don’t have extra dodges, evades or teleports to bail you out if you get into trouble, but you can really mess up the enemy if don’t get focused.

Necromancer (which I play most often right now) has probably the most CC besides some engineer or warrior builds, but you don’t want to play those. Necro also excels in burst AoE but is weak with sustained AoE due to a lack of cleaving weapon, but the burst AoE with wells makes up for that a bit. With max damage gear their single target damage is very high, and due to deathshroud and high health they are more durable than most professions with higher damage (burst or not), but suffer from a lack of mobility or ways to counter CC, but also have probably best time dealing with enemy conditions on themselves and dealing with enemy boons.

I personally think necro is the most fun, but that because I’m a sucker for dark caster type classes Ele can be rally fun too but very tiring, and if you’re a troll, thief can give you all the fun in the world.
