Pure casters are people who have devoted their life to the intellectual study of the casting of spells. Clerics, shamen, and druids do not study the casting, per say... they pray for their spells. Thus, they are classified as priests.

The classifications, by that system, are:

Pure Casters: Mages, Necromancers, Enchanters, Wizards

Priests: Clerics, Druids, Shamen

Hybrids (Int Based): Bards, Shadowknights

Hybrids (Wis Based): Beastlords, Paladins, Rangers

Pure Melees: Rogues, Monks, Warriors

Dead Sexy Gods: Rogues

There are of course other ways of classifying the classes (odd expression). You can classify them by HP class, for example, or raid roles, or what have you.
