For PvE, I like the Belf for the Arcane Torrent. Mine still happens to be undead back when there were racial spells, and you took UD for Devouring Plague. If I were starting over, I'd pick a Belf. Cannibalize is great for other non-healing classes while leveling. Obviously not a priest (just like you don't see shamans and druids using bandages...).
Will of the Forsaken does have occasional uses, but you do have Fear Ward you can cast if you know one is coming while soloing.

I personally think it's preference between Troll and BElf, which is funny because you have to choose before you can have the experience of which you prefer!
BE gives you mana return which is fantastic while leveling and gives you that silence ability which can be REALLY useful. In the end, however, for raiding and doing higher level things, I don't really think it's necessary for some specs. If you're disco you, won't need it because you won't ever have mana issues. If you're Holy it's useful, but you could get along without it. If you're Shadow, then I think it would be useful because the last thing you want is your battery running out of mana!
Troll is the other I would choose because of their racial. Haste is FANTASTIC for all of the specs and can be really useful while leveling as well. Throw a renew on yourself, then go balls out. I wouldn't use it as an "OSHT" button, but rather as any other cooldown. Personally, I'd go with Troll for raiding because of the haste. Just my 2c

Fairly intelligent thread, I was just wondering if we could expand this to Alliance as well,
Human vs dwarf vs night elf vs Draenei
Personally I blundered into a dwarf because I had not seen those first area's and wanted a new game experience. but still comments on the advantages would be nice. And no "Draenei ftw because of hit" is not going to cut it.
P.S. sorry for hijacking your thread :)

If you plan on only raiding as shadow, I'd go with Draenei for the hit, it you think you'll have any remote interest in healing, go human. Most 25 man raids will have a Draenei in it which is good for everyone. Spirit is great for holy, good for shadow, and decent for disc.
As far as horde goes, I'd go with Troll if you only want to raid as shadow, but I'd rather have the mana return if I was healing. More haste = higher dps, but it would only be marginally useful for a healer.
I'm just waiting for the day Blizz decides gnomes can become priests...5% more int...

So overall would a Troll be the best race Horde-wise?
Thank you for your time.
Really depends a lot on what are you aiming for: PvE? PvP? Both? Forsaken priest is obvious for PvP, Belves I'd say are a tad more PvP oriented as well, what with vast majority of classes dealing different magical damagetypes, but hold their own in PvE as well. Trolls I see as the most PvE oriented race of the bunch.
Personally I have a (male) belf priest and I can use his abilities just as well as any other races - but you choose what you want and think is best. Because honestly choosing a class because of racials is a tad stupid, if you get bored and then irritated watching the ever-protruding spine of a Forsaken, the wobbling ears of a belf or the hobo-slouch of the trolls.

Just remember, you have to look at that character's rear end for a LONG time.
You also have to see them casting spells, so whatever you prefer the general appearance of and which casting animations you prefer. Looks > Racials atm.

I picked Dwarf back when they were the only ones with Fear Ward..
Then i tried human didn't like them for some reason just seemed like the obvious choice i guess...
I can say i never tried NE...
As of right now i like draenei for some reason im not gonna defend them and say they look the best or anything but who wouldn't want to ride around in an Elekk? =D
If i had to reroll to horde... Most def would be Undead.... I just like the contrast.. Undead Priest... ahahaha and a Skeleton Horse...

The worst part about trolls are that they look constantly constipated, especially the females. I've heard that the original models looked a lot more trollish but god knows why they got changed.
