I wish they wouldn't make them available to all races. I think they should only be available to humans and forsaken, and that is it.
The rest don't make much sense lore-wise, either racially or regarding the story. And many of them will just look plain stupid.
And I think you're narrow minded for not considering all the lore in the past warcraft games.
Arthas and the scourge marched directly through silvermoon city as is shown by the dead scar, and they nearly wiped out the high elves in the process. It's reasonable to assume that some of those elves, in order to spare their own lives, vowed to serve arthas and his armies and were initiated as deathknights.
Likewise, the FIRST deathknights in warcraft lore were the souls of orc warlocks who 'possessed' the bodies of dead human knights. Orcs have been practicing demonic and shadow magic for far longer than humans have.
There are dwarven paladins as well, not just humans, and one of the four horsemen in naxxramas (all of whom are deathknights) is a dwarf named thane korth'azz.
Trolls exist in northrend and have practiced shadow magic longer than any race on azeroth.
The only races that really dont belong as far as deathknight lore goes are tauren, night elves, gnomes, and draenei - but blizzard has to balance the number of deathknight races on both sides, and so they decided just to let everyone be capable of becoming corrupted.

I still think that Night Elf's and taurens should be able to play DK's... me and my guild like to have a bit of RP from time to time.... and there you can be good or bad... since you can choose to leave your ppl and travel your own journey... even the DK's journey

Ofc it would look stupid for some races, but why not all races? I can see why most of you think it would be wierd if some of the "good" protective races such as tauren or nelfs could have dks, but you're thinking wrong. Dks are no longer that race, the only thing that is left of that race is their looks, the rest is gone and have been replaced by something else.

... though arcane torrent might be pretty decent if it restores rune power or recharges runes.
I honestly cant see this happening, currently Arcane Torrent does nothing for rogues with energy? Its rather useful as a Silence, but nothing more (which I'm sure you are already aware).
So unless BElf racials get a make over in WotLK then I dont see them being that good a choice for DKs in that regard :(
Obviously they will look the best, but not so good with racials :)
Um... if you build up arcane charges with mana tap, and then use arcane torrent, you get whatever resource your class relies on restored. Rogues get energy back, casters get mana.
I think as a rogue with 3 mana tap charges, you can get 30 energy back from arcane torrent. Pretty decent if you ask me.

DKs are the dead, raised again to fight for the Lich King.
They are mind controlled; so it doesn't matter what race they are. Troll, Human, Gnome, Orc, Undead, whatever. They get raised, turned into a DK, and forced to serve.
On topic? Orc, especially if you go Unholy. +damage for the ghoul, extra expertise with axes and stun resist are very nice.
Edit: didn't notice this topic was so old. Wtf @ bumping it up.
