That description sounds like Paladin or Shaman.
Things to base the decision off past that is what you'd also like to do besides healing and support.
Paladins are strictly melee outside of Holy (healing) spec, but can be tanks as well.
Shaman are less tanky and defensive than Paladins, but have both a ranged and melee dps spec.
Regardless, I would say to you as I would say to anyone.
No one can be told what they should play or how to do it. I got where I am playing Paladin not because it was my first choice or my best choice. I learned to love it after trying many different things and many different classes.
Try some things, and if its meant to be, you will know it. But at low level, and with no experience in the game itself, it will be difficult to make the choice.
