How about Blood Elves?
I see many Blood Elves in BGs now adays. And they do seem to have a better dodge-rate, plus they "seem" faster than UD.
Except for looking cool, what is it about UD that makes them the best choice (at Horde side ... which OP's question regards!)?
Mainly it's the racial
Will of the Forsaken
, which along with the Horde PvP trinket gives you 2 ways to break CC.
Cannibalize
doesn't hurt either, helping you get your HP back up after a fight.
I prefer Orcs to UD though, UD armor is half missing. ><
Edit: Spelling and linkage. And again for bad link :(

I have a 70 Blood Elf rogue. Honestly, I chose Blood Elf because I didn't really know any better at the time and wanted to try something I hadn't before. The orc's stun resist would be nice to have, as would UD's WotF; however, mana tap and arcane torrent are not completely worthless as a rogue. When you're burning down a caster, arcane torrent is another silence/interrupt a Blood Elf rogue has at his/her disposal.

Hehe ... Well, it was kind of the same reason that made me consider BEs too.
I asked around ingame if Mana Tap scales well with your lvls (I can see Arcane Torrent is a great feat). It seems it does, and yet people seem somewhat vague when asked what it really is about BEs that made them choose one.
Now that you have leveled your BE rogue... Would you choose differently now, if you could do it over (without going through leveling anew)?
That's a good question. I think I've grown fond enough of the BE racial that I don't know that I would. As I mentioned earlier, arcane torrent is nice for any rogue fighting a caster; your options to interrupt/silence a caster outside of stealth are gouge, kick, kidney shot, deadly throw (with PvP gloves) and, as a BE, arcane torrent. Arcane torrent is also nice because it is AoE, so you can silence more than one target. You also get an energy return depending on how many mana taps you have stacked.
Also, because of it's energy return, arcane torrent can be, if nothing else, a nice energy boost in PvE as well.
A lot of people say that racials even out and just pick whatever you think looks/sounds the coolest. If I took this advice back then then I'd probably have an Undead rogue. BE males, in my opinion, have the absolute worst emotes (besides their awesome Napoleon Dynamite dance!). I will never, ever again /cheer.
/shudder.

Ah, dwarves get a rogue specific Racial that gives you free Vanish ability. I've missed that one.
For whichever reason I don't meet that many dwarf rogues (Most ally rogues are still NEs), but it explains a few happenings I just got to think about reading this, lol.
I wonder if this vanish racial have a CD?
Think I'll have to look this one up. ^^
I think you misunderstood him. Dwarves get a racial (
Stoneform
), that allows you to drop any bleeds, or poisons on you so you can stealth successfully.
From my experience, Dwarves are the best rogues. But thats based on looks and rare factor than anything. NE's are overplayed, and Gnomes are too short (camera angle bothers me).
Edit: Added personal info.

If you're talking about stats when you first roll a character, then at 70 the difference is barely noticeable.

Alliance = Human (Buff skill with maces and swords), or Gnome (

Horde = Orc or Undead

I like my troll rogue cause they can use Berserking which increased attack speed, they get increased regeneration incase ur attacked (the regeneration allows 10% of health to be regenerated in combat) , and they get increased critical strike with bows/throwing weapons. My profs are engi/mining cause with engi u can make guns/crossbows/ some leather/ mounts/ and other cool stuff. If ur a chose to do goblin engi then u can rez people. The mounts can go for like 20k gold since there awsome and there a acheivment. Mining is for the mats so u dont have to buy them. This is just my opinion.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##Welcome to the forum.
