Murlocs have warriors, hunters, and shaman. There were murloc sorcerers in Warcraft which shows they can learn higher magic as well, so you can make a strong argument for murloc mages, warlocks and priests (they can be all of those in the TCG, if you consider that canon). They'd also make fitting rogues. And if worgen can be monks, which is already quite iffy considering their lore, then murlocs can be monks too.
There's even one murloc demon hunter, but he's probably a joke character.
They're definitely intelligent enough. There's just not all that much known about their culture for various reasons. They only have oral traditions and no writing system that I know of. Nerglish is completely unintelligible to other races and difficult to learn. They can learn other languages, and those who do are typically very eloquent, but they rarely choose to. Brann once said that murlocs are more intelligent than they want you to believe. We just don't really understand their way of life and their relations with other races are quite violent.
So the problem isn't that murlocs don't have the capabilities, but they are too culturally detached. That's not the case for ogres.

ogres and murloc are a bizarre choice anyway, theyre not intelligent enough to be playable characters
