Well burst and high dps is two different things. Some classes are very bursty but don't top dps. Some classes have high burst , but see a bunch of small numbers instead of a few huge numbers, and other classes see a few huge numbers, and a few small numbers. So you could be a little bit more specific on what your looking for.

Hunters aren't really a caster class, nor are they really high burst.
Warlocks Have affliction(doting), demo, and destruction(which is casting and will see big numbers.)
Mages are casters and also have pretty good burst.
Boomkin are casters but won't see the same numbers warlocks or mages will.
Ele shaman also have good burst, but the don't do amazing dps.

When it comes down to specifically what your asking, i would probably narrow it down to a mage or a warlock. Look for some videos and see which playstyle you would like.

Warlocks use demons, dots, and curses as a core part of the class. There pretty much a mage gone evil.

Mages are just your very generic caster class. They use fire magic, frost, or arcane magic. Mage will have a slight edge of warlocks in pvp , because frost mages have great mobility, crowdcontrol, and burst.

Warlock will probably be easier and faster to level btw, but just play what you think will be fun. Blizzard has came a long way in wotlk of making pretty much everything viable.
