Yeah, sorry if I wasn't clear... The AVERAGE player on Alliance is worse than the AVERAGE player on Horde. This is my experience. And it's not because of overpowering racials; yes, orcs can boost themselves up... Too bad they take half healing while doing it. It's certainly not free, and even though that penalty is reduced in PvP (where barely anyone heals anyway), it's still enough of a drawback that I, as an orc shaman, avoid clicking it unless I'm close to dying anyway.
Tauren war stomp is good in group situations... Not 1-1. You can interrupt a spell, and that's about it, because your character does nothing for the entire duration of the stomp's stun.
Undead are unbalanced. I'll give you that. Being able to pop out of a good deal of Crowd Control every few goddamn minutes as an innate ability is dumb.
Trolls berserking requires you to be at critical health to get full benefit from it. No thanks?
Belf... Meh. It's okay. I don't particularly like it, but I can see where a pally/rogue would find it useful in BGs.
But I'd just like to point out that EA pwnz, even in PvP. Mage Frost Nova'd you? EA and beat the shit out of him. Hunter trying to kite you? EA. Shaman Frost Shocking you into the ground? EA. Last time I checked, almost all snares could be shed with EA, and when I was playing my gnome warrior that made a Helluva difference.
As for dwarves, I'd play them for most classes. Cooler than hoomans... Admittedly their racial isn't hot, but it's not worthless either. It's about on par with human's Perception for usefulness.
Night Elves....bleh. SHADOWMELD. LOOKIT ME IMMA STEALTHIN'. IN MAH FLAG ROOM. WITH A SNARE. Not game breaking, just really freaking annoying when the enemy FR looks like it has two people, but it has 6 because the 4 goddamn NE's are stealthed. Where's a Flare when you need one?
Draenei are solid racially, not just for PvE but also for PvP. That heal is bloody nice; don't even know what it would be like to be covered by it, a Renew and PoM.
So yeah, I don't think the game is truly broken one way or the other. Undead have it better than most other races, but I don't think WotF is enough to win an entire game off of. Horde attracts, as you said Reijin, more of the dickhead types that like to flex their muscles and try to prove that they're the best... Well, yeah, they do. But even if they're dickheads, they still play harder.
