First I'd like to see Ares brought back as a villain. I was kinda on board with him becoming her mentor because I assumed it would lead to some betrayal, but instead having him martyred and cemented as "good guy Ares" in the New 52 just really left a bad taste in my mouth. I'd really like to see him brought back and given a proper villain treatment.
Next would be Circe and Cheetah, and Doctor Psycho. Those three are pretty obvious to be included so no real need for explanation.
After that I'd like to see Angle Man, and Silver Swan as a couple of more tradition super villains for Wonder Woman to go against.
Next I think Diana could use a sort of female Lex Luthor as one of her main villains. This could either be Baroness von Gunther, Veronica Cale, or Diana's half-sister Cassandra assuming she survives this current run. I'd say that one one of them should be in the main rouges roster since they all fill the same role, but the others could show up too.
Next I think we need a couple godlike villains from outside of Greek mythology. Other Greek villains should definitely show up, but for the main rouges I'm looking for some more representation from outside of it. First I'd pick someone from Judo-Christian mythology. There are plenty of demons, or angles that could be picked from, but I'm going with Neron since in the comics he actually killed Wonder Woman at one point.
Second godlike villain would be Queen of Fables. I'm not totally sure what exactly she was in the post-crisis comics but I'd upgrade her to be a full on god belonging to a pantheon on fairy-tail creatures similar to the "True Fae" of the game "Changlings: The Lost." There are a lot of similarities to be drawn between Wonder Woman and the Disney Princess and I think having her fight "The Evil Queen" is the best way to do it.
I'd also like to see some more villains from Norse, Hindu, Egyptian, and other mythologies as well but none of them are making the cut of main rouges either.
And finally I'd like to see the Duke of Deception come back as one of Wonder Woman's central rouges. He's been out of continuity for a while so there's lots of room to reinvent him as needed. I'd still like to see his connection to Ares, but I might focus a bit more on his extra-terrestrial nature. I think every good rouges gallery needs at least one good alien on it.
Also just to cheat I'd like to throw out a few honorable mentions which would be; Giganta, Apollo, Doctor Cyber, Devestation, and Queen Cleo.
