I don't think you'd be losing alot by going with orc, troll, or goblin they all have something helpful. Blood elf, undead, and tauren racials are pretty meh though :( Sad because my hunter is tauren >.< She was my first and I didn't know better.
The Good
Orc = +ap trink, +5% pet dmg, reduced stuns
Troll = +5%dmg to beasts, +cast speed trink, 1% crit with bow, movement impairment reduction
Goblin = bank access and better vendor prices, 1% attack speed permanent,
Rockets, and
Extra DisengageThe Bad (unless you like PvP) and The Ugly
Undead = Cannibalize and wotf
Tauren = smidgen of health and aoe stun/interupt
Belf = aoe silence and 15 focus
