Ok I am going to level a warrior and I was wondering, based on player's experience, what race to use as a warrior. I have read Arideni's FAQ on different races but I want to know from opinion.
The warrior will probably be more PVP-oriented in playing and be arms spec.
So any input and/or opinions on races would be greatly appreciated :D

I play a human. I have an undead Warrior as well however low in level.
The greatest thing the devs did for Humans in terms of pvp was the addition of
Every Man For Himself
. It frees up honor and a trinket slot to be used to gain more of a different stat, such as Crit or AP.
As well, the Undead have a practical ability, not as effective as Every Man, but still helps you solidify yourself against pesky fears and charms:
Will of the Forsaken
.
Trolls, as well have Berserking which can be useful but I don't think It gets to its full effect before you reach 40% of your life.
Draenai instant-cast HoT is a pretty nice life-prolonging ability.
Some, I would argue are more useful to pvp than others, however the choice remains your own. The true seperation of warriors in terms of ability is skill, not racials.*
*not racials, accounting for 99% of encounters; occassionally they do save your butt.

Yea i was thinking of being either undead or orc, leaning towards orc more, i like the AP bonus and reduced stun

Those are some nice merits to being a pvp warrior, given the need to deal large amounts of damage in short periods of time. As well since practically everyone has a stun of some kind or another, an additional 15% off stun effects, especially if taken with
Iron Will
is very effective.
I still say for blanket effectiveness, Will of the Forsaken (Undead) or Every Man for Himself (Human) are the most widely useful racials in pvp.

True, another fear removal may help when trinket is down, also cannibalism would help in BG's and during leveling, UD sounds ideal now

But to break fears you have your berserker rage + a trinket so an orc is still usuable. The only advantage to an undead is that your WotF is on a seperate cooldown from your trinket therefore giving you repetitive fear breakers. And then there is bladestorm, which makes you immune to fear also. So, thats 4 fear immunities off the top of my head with undead (with trinket) and 3 with orc (and a trinket).

Escape Artist
