Gnomes are the de facto choice for PVP, though their stats are somewhat debateable for PVE.
One thing that holds true, though is that in PVP there are tons of roots & snares...making Gnomes incredibly mobile.
The choice is up to you, of course, so pick a character you really like & won't just get tired of...a warrior at 70 is not something you want to fund & spend time doing all over again.

Ok, seriously.. The stat difference between races is insignificant. It does not matter

Sounds like someone picked a class they regret, =P
Gnomes start with the lowest STR of any other race currently in-game and they tie a couple other races for the absolute lowest starting health (50HP compared to dwarves, who get 90). Their agility is second best (great case for melee in PVP). This somewhat makes up for their low base HP, but not arguably enough. They have the highest intellect of any class (which makes sense).

starting differences should realy be ignored.
the point with taurens and HP are not starting differences, but the fact that 10 stamina = 105 HP for taurens, and 100 HP for all other races. and that applies all the way to 70 lvl, so those tons of stamina have 5% boost when converting to HP, which is realy nice.
and ofc, there are hardcore raiders, main tanks, that are not taurent simply because they are not horde. on my server (pvp server) night elf warrior is MT and raid leader of best pve guild. (cleared all there is to clear at the moment)
so, since there are no taurens in aliance, there's no difference in choosing race for pve warrior. after all, if there is one thing balanced in wow, its pve.
but there is difference in choosing race for pvp warrior. so, go with gnome. it does make difference for pvp. to quit at lvl 36 shouldnt be a problem as you said.
good luck, and escape artist FTW :)
just a hint: escape artist is THE reason why ppl HATE gnome warriors in pvp :)

5% health is nice, but if you have 1k stam, that is 500 health. It is something, but if you are up at that point, like me, undead, I have 980 stam and have 14.5k health. It isn't too big of a difference, plus if I have to stance dance and miss one I can use my racial. It all depends on what you want.
I like agility better than strength tanking because agi= dodge and crit. Str = more rage and threat.

I'm glad you have found a character you like!
Gnomes can be fun as they're generally portrayed in a somewhat silly manner, same with dwarves though they can seem quite serious at times. Millhouse Manastorm, ftw!
Personally, I'm a human-type. Nominal stats all the way, but you just won't end up hating the character later on (at least not when they introduce the post-creation changes).
So, that said: good luck & have fun!
