Good ol' humans... I think Stealth Detection is a useful skill, but situational. I can't comment for Diplomacy and The Human Spirit. As for Sword & Mace Specialization, ain't too shabby.

Me & Human - Human is alright, I guess. But Human is all too... general? I don't know the word for it. I will choose Paladin, Warrior, Mage or Warlock. Human Rogue or Priest also sound good, as I said the Human race is very general.

Night Elf's Shadowmeld is indubitably useful, while Wisp Spirit and Quickness are both handy not-so-situational skills. Nature Resistance is just icing on the cake.

Me & Night Elf - They look relatively cooler than the rest of the classes and that alone is a big plus point. Aesthetically pleasing, looking strong and steadfast, definitely my type. Druid, Hunter and Rogue will do for these guys. Warrior and Priest suit Human better.

Among all, I think Dwarves's Stoneform stands out the most. I don't know how good Find Treasure is, but Gun Specialization and Frost Resistance look appealing.

Me & Dwarf - Personally, I don't mind having a Dwarven character. They look stouty and sturdy. I'd go for Warrior or Paladin for this race. Rogue, Hunter, Priest don't seem to cut it for them, the Dwarves don't look that agile to me, nor magically potent. Gun-Rogue is still viable, Dwarven Sniper style and all.

The Gnome's Escape Artist skill seems very situational, but it does save your butt whenever you get trapped. Expansive Mind is a good bonus for magic classes, while Arcane Resistance and Engineering Specialization have got their own usefulness.

Me & Gnome - Uhh, for one their looks don't appeal to me. For a brief moment it seems like such a waste to pay SGD$45 for 2 months to play as a Gnome. Like, a friend comes along and ask you,
"What WoW character are you?"
"Erm. A Gnome?"
"Pfft!"
Other than that, they'd make a good Warlock or Mage. Probably an okay Rogue, but no way as Warrior - they are Gnomes afterall!
