1. Night Elf
2. Human

Night Elf is the best race by far on Alliance. The active racial ability, Shadowmeld, has great synergy with the Rogue class. Not only can youuse it to immune incoming crowd control or to immune a dangerous cast, but youcan also simply use it to leave combat and gain Stealth in the midstof combat. This can be used offensively to gain access to your CC abilitiesand immediately attack from Stealth, or defensively to escape a dangeroussituation. Being a Night Elf also provides you with two noteworthy passiveabilities, Quickness, that grants you 2% extra movement speed and 2%dodge chance, and Touch of Elune, that increases either your Haste orCritical Strike by 1% depending on whether it is night or day.

Human is the second-best race on Alliance. The active racial ability, Will to Survive, allows you to break free of a stun once every 3minutes, effectively acting as a second trinket, but only for stuns. Eventhough it shares it 1.5min cooldown with the regular trinket, it still allowsyou to get out of stuns more often than any other race. The passive racialability, The Human Spirit, increasing all secondary stats by a small amount.

1. Orc
2. Blood Elf

Orc is the best race on Horde. The active racial ability, Blood Fury, increases your attack power by a substantial amount whenused. It is a nice addition to your burst. However, Orcs truly shine for theirpassive racial ability, Hardiness. This passive will reduce theduration of all incoming stuns by 20% at all times. Even though this passive isnow worse than before because the PvP trinket set bonus already reduces theduration of incoming CC and doesn't stack with Hardiness, it is still a littleless time spent in stuns.

Blood Elf is the second-best race on Horde. The active racial ability, Arcane Torrent, restores 15 Energy and purges one magical beneficialeffect from all enemies within 8 yards. This can be used to remove spells suchas Alter Time, Blessing of Protection, or other key abilities,allowing you to kill your target when they think themselves out of danger. Itis very situational, but powerful nonetheless.
