I thought racials were supposed to get reworked?

I'm currently retired...but am considering making a comeback tour sometime in the relatively near future. When I switched my hunter from troll to orc, I remember considering racials, then everyone on my server said "Oh don't worry about racials, they're all getting reworked in Cata anyway."
I have been doing a bit of research...pretty sure all the racials are the same...
What gives?
Or have I been away so long I no longer remember which races had which racials?

I saw all that. I guess I expected a bigger change.
Thanks for the help anyway =)
@ extermianner: None of the races have new racials, the old ones have just been tweaked. So no, you're wrong. Thanks for playing.

Bigger changes? They're huge.
Orcs, Trolls and the others who didn't have theirs tweaked (besides Undead) already have the best racials that don't need a change.

Well, they are new in the way that they now have new effects... And we could probably discuss this more, but I will leave it as is.

Well, regardless...thanks to all for the feedback.

Yeah, I think pretty much everyone did as even with the improved racials they're still not really in line with worgen and goblin racials.

thats useful.
It's a warning to those people whose posts were removed, and that's the kind of post that gets removed.
I think the racial changes that were hinted at in the early Cataclysm announcements were to be more drastic than what's been done. Blizzard realized that a majority of the player-base probably wouldn't respond well to all race's racial abilities been drastically reworked and that balancing them would be nearly as difficult as balancing Death Knights.(##RESPBREAK##)652##DELIM##Neutronimity##DELIM##Indeed.

It is quite possible that the original plans were much grander than what we ended up with. If you look at what happened to Path of the Titans, some things simply ended up getting removed or changed because they were not up to Blizzards generally high standards. It's possible we will get even better racial powers someday down the road, but for right now we are just getting the ones we have buffed up a bit and made a little better. Who knows what the future holds :)(##RESPBREAK##)12##DELIM##MasterOfDisguise##DELIM##

Undead one has been worthless since Season 8 though.
GotN actually does something; 20% of 140k hp (average for a tank) is 28k. 28k every second for 15 seconds is 1.9k every second. Which is roughly what Recuperate untalented is.
Stoneform; straight up damage reduction will make them the best Alliance tanks. Has its moments in PvP with its bleed, poison and disease removal.
Escape Artist got a flat cooldown reduction, no real complaints there.
EMFH got its change reverted back to 2 min, which allows two PvE trinkets. I still think this Racial needs to be scrapped, but whatever.
Shadowmeld became useful for druids.
Same with War Stomp.
Darkflight got a flat cooldown decrease.
These racials are actually somewhat on par with Horde's racials, and the changes are hopefully enough to see more of these classes, particularly dwarfs.
