Simple http redirect???

The class isn't actually part of the iRule.

The section that deb pasted is what would go into your config file directly, including the class and rule definition together.

If you are just inputing the iRule via the GUI, you would disregard the class, and add it seperately. So you'd exclude this section:

class ProxyPass {
 space delimited row for each virtual to which rule will be applied
  vs_name  backend_host_header  backend_uri_prefix
   virtual1 inside_app1.company.com:7005 /newDir/otherDir
   virtual2 inside_app2.company.com:7006 /newDir/otherDir
}

As well as the

rule ... { 

portion, and the closing brace that matches it.
