Welcome to WoW
I have met a lovely girl in my new course who has expressed interest in giving online games a try and every time I have talked about WoW she has said: "I'd love to try that!". Win! So, I was planning to give her the battle box for Christmas, together with an invite code for RAF and a little note with my server and character name :-3

I chose a bit more hands-off approach because, to me at least, WoW is an organic gaming experience. Do I wish, way back in early '05 that someone had told me warriors wanted plate only with strength? Sure do, but that knowledge came later when I transitioned from clueless, starry eyed nooblet to worldlier, slightly wiser gamer.
I'd give your friend some knowledge, some basic tools and the safety net of you being there should she need it. Also, some forewarning that there are jerks among the good people, not to take them so much to heart and to just experience and enjoy this game that's brought you so much joy over the years.
As for my wife? She's a slower leveler, a rabid altoholic, but has come a long way from DK with spellpower plate (it helps my spells hit harder, no really!) to healing paladin who can talk stats, healing coefficients and knows her class in all it's terrible awesomeness.
I wanted to give my wife a good foundation as a not only a WoW player, but as a gamer overall. I wanted her to enjoy the game, in her case, it's rolling alts and dungeon'ing, and make it so she's one of the people who helps propel this game forward, not one of those who drag the experience down. Were there bumps and learning curves? Sure, but to me, that's half the fun. Now we can look back and laugh at those things, a bit wiser but no less happier for the experience.
Best of luck to you and your friend. :-)
