what about dwarf? i never see any.
That's the only thing good about rolling a dwarf (female) you'll be the only one around.
they have no real bonuses though.
+5 mace expertise.
Guess I missed that.
It's still a better choice to go human.
stoneform is also nice to get rid of any DoT effects and some extra damage mitigation... it's probably much nicer while you're leveling/solo questing than anything else.

For PvE, at least leveling, I've found Night Elf to be an excellent option.
With the racial Shadowmeld, a Night Elf can abuse Stealth even if the enemy is already aggroed.
Every three minutes you can pull off a Stealth when already in combat. Not a bad option at all. I've found it useful for quests which require one kill if you want to save time and not kill everything on the way to the mark. Just Sprint past all the surface trash till you get fairly close to your target, Shadowmeld and let the trash wander off, Stealth while melded and you never loose the hidden effect, then go over and use your preferred stealth attack on your target.
Also effective if something sees through your stealth when you're not prepared to fight and your Shadowmeld is not on cooldown, instant re-stealth. :)
I'd assume that this effect would be effective in PvP as well, but I haven't gotten that far with my Rogue yet.
Edit: A note on Dwarves -- Dwarves Rogues do have the highest started HP by like 20. Other than that and the mace thing, I'd say even humans are a better option. I've never found Stoneform that useful, seems like when you need it, you need it way more than it's available. lol

Alliance:
Human - Free Expertise - hitting expertise cap is an excellent idea for all rogues
Night Elf - 2% avoidance for AoE damage.
Night Elf , adding in a stealth boost the counters human's detect ability, and shadowmeld. I've had a lot of fun with my NE Combat sword Rogue 8) if it's a wipe; Shadowmeld to reset all your threat, if you are lucky you do not have to Vanish, if the boss/bosses go for you, just use Vanish :>

I LOVED being a night elf for levelling (and still love being a night elf now - meh). Having the extra speed bonus when dead is something that is a must for me - every single class capable of being a night elf, for me, is. And the racial, Shadowmeld, may seem less useful in the face of Vanish, but I use it all the time as a second Vanish, if something sees through stealth or I accidentally Vanish while I still have a DoT. And in a raid setting it gives you a second chance to survive a wipe. Just saying XD
But, yeah, all the stuff about humans for the rep and weapons is true as well.
I think it really comes down to personal preference.
