I'm going to be creating a Shaman for PvE soon, but am wondering which the most effective PvE Horde race for Shamans is. Advice?

PvE wise:
Orc:
Blood Fury
- 5/5 great DPS booster
Axe Specialization
- 3/5 will help with DPS but in raids you should be attacking from behind
Troll:
Bezerking
- 5/5 great DPS or HPS booster
Beast Slaying
- 0/5 or 3/5 depending on the fight
Regeneration
- 1/5 dead men don't heal/DPS but the rate is slow
Tauren:
Endurance
- 1/5 1/5 dead men don't heal/DPS, IMO regeration is slightly better than this
Or:
orc is <slightly> better as enhancement, troll is <slightly better> as elemental/resto.

I would actually say Orc is the best for raiding, no matter what spec you go.
Think about it.
As Enhancement, 282 AP and 143 Spell Damage (possibly more, I'm not sure if this takes account of Mental Quickness), vs. 10% haste (it's almost always going to be 10% haste unless you overaggro, in which case you're already dead).
As Resto or Elemental, 143 bonus damage / healing for 15 seconds every 2 minutes, versus 10% spell haste for 10 seconds every 3 minutes.
I'm sure if someone would whip up some maths, which I won't do because I'm not clever enough, it could be shown that the Orc's racial would work out to be better DPS / HPS.

Orc for enhancement, troll for elemental/resto but, ultimately, it boils down to what race's bum you want to stare at.

taurn becuz they hav the racial move that stuns them and interrupts spell casting so i reccomend taurn

yay someone said tauren! ummm although war stomp isn't THAT great, i guess that nature resistance can come in handy sometimes.... but even though i rolled tauren, i was new and i didn't know much about wat was good and wat wasn't, i would go orc if i made another shaman. but i do have to say, that tauren shamans look awesome!
