Tauren versus Orc versus Troll

Personally, I do prefer Orc solely because of their 25% stun resistance. Yes, taurens have 5% more stamina, and stomp, but they're huge, so they're easily tagged at PvP, while Orcs are the shortest, and Trolls are a lot cooler than both the others together, but don't have any special racial ability except for beastslaying.

What's your opinion?

--Edit--

By the way, I forgot to ask. What do you think it's the best for the Orcs? Shield + Axe, Two-Handed Axe, Shield + Mace or Two-Handed Maces? Don't forget it has +5 Axes (does it stack at 300, making it 305, plus superior than usual defense?).

I think Tauren, mainly because warstomp is an ass in PvP.

As for weapons depends on the situation, if you haven't, get an addon call WeaponQuickSwap, really helps when you need to swap weapons(from taking hits to dealing them).

I'm a Tauren Shaman with a 2h mace. I do fairly well for myself. I personally love war stomp..such a life saver at times.

That addon also changes to shield if shield is required?

Correct, here a example of the code needed to executed the addon via macro.

/script WeaponSwap("Aurastone Hammer", "Red Dragonscale Protector", "The Untamed Blade", "");

As you can see it swaps my 1h+shield when I push the macro or vice versa to 2h.

Tauren w/ 2h mace, man.

I was lucky and found some nice gear that matched with my guild tabard ironically..check out how sexy I am. (Note: Mace is shown in dressing room because I need 2 more lvls to use it)

If it was for looks, I'd got Troll. I really love the bastards. But I was asking for more about racials. I don't think war stomp is that important.

Besides, they're too big for me. Altough I must say that Mulgore owns :)

I'm really undecided, damnit :(

--Edit--

Besides, there's like a zillion tauren shamans.

Orc starting stats:

Strength - 26
Agility - 17
Stamina - 24
Intelligence - 17
Spirit - 23

Tauren -

Strength - 28
Agility - 15
Stamina - 24
Intelligence - 15
Spirit- 22

It's not that important, yes, but I think Orcs have better starting stats to be Shamans than Taurens :D
