Gnomes, probably.
The faces of the human male, night elf male, dwarf males and gnomes males... Currently most have facial hair to hide the terrible hare-lip like textures some have going on. I hope they will get the lips right this time, but I am not sure how much they will change it to stay 'true' to the old models.
Aside from faces and to talk about actual models, I see them screw up the forsaken somehow with the revealing bones which cut through armor and cloaks alike -.- it never made sense (other than recognizing a Forsaken from afar) and it still won't if they include the armor piercing pieces of bone in the new models. I really wish to see a different approach on the exposed knees and elbows without them magically holding a sleeve or lower parts of a pair of pants up while they are obviously torn.
I have a bad feeling about trolls. Vol'jin and Mar'li.. well, they don't look bad, but they're definitely not what I'd want playable trolls to look like. A bit less muscular than that and smoother faces than the current models would be perfect for me.
As for female night elves.. They are perfect the way they are - strong and graceful! If they somehow manage to ruin them, [insert death threat here].
I'd hate to see any of the models change too much, but the quality was obviously not meant for our current graphics settings.

The more I look at the new Garrosh, the more it saddens me. It looks nothing like the old Orc, and actually looks too realistic for WoW.
I hope Garrosh is not a new model, and rather just a revamped skeleton with a boss-quality skin.

not gonna happen. someone at the art department has developed some serious fetish about muscle women. have you ever seen how much muscle the fem goblins got when they went from NPCs to playable? they look like they could break me in half!
pandaren and worgen women also have muscular arms, to a lesser extent (probably because their fur makes it harder to notice)
Warlorcs of Draenorc made me quit. You can't have my stuff.
Let me just post my wishlist;
Orcs
- no more hunch
Blood Elves
- Females have decent-sized weapons instead of the toothpicks they currently use
Forsaken
- Slightly larger shoulder armours
- Maybe the bones being a toggle.
Tauren
- Grimtotem facepaint? A man can dream...
Humans
- Just slim the menfolk down a wee bit!
Gnomes
- Replaced.
I am excited for the new Night Elf female model, But I swear to god if it looks ANYTHING like Azshara or the "new" Tyrande model.....I am race changing or playing a different class.
They better add in an option to use old models if you don't like the new ones.
I'm very afraid that they will ruin Draenei.Not saying that blizzard is bad at what they do, but sometimes during a reboot things don't go as planned.
If they do I'd even take the risk of getting caught and use modified model files.
Provided they don't add an option to continue the usage of the old model.
To answer the question in the topic, any or all of them really. None of them will be universally liked and I'm sure that when they arrive we'll see a long period of people complaining about all of them. It's just how it works. Expectations get raised, inevitably disappointed and you're off. And I 100% agree with those that hope that some sort of option to stay how you currently are is included.
"...money's most powerful ability is to allow bad people to continue doing bad things at the expense of those who don't have it."
I hope Blizzard doesn't get rid of the Dwarf female's boob sway.
Humans. Humans are what we will criticize, as most of us on these forums are humans id guess.
I'm wondering how they'll handle Tauren. There seem to be two camps when it comes to illustrating them: one that goes full-on hump-back and one that greatly lessens or completely removes the hump.
This is true even in Blizzard's own art -- some of Samwise's Tauren are completely without a hump, or only have a slight hunch. Some of Blizzard's other official art features the hump to more varying degrees.

I'd prefer at least some of the races to move away from the cartoon-ey look, not least because WoW now has the potential for much more realistic models.
That said, some of them can keep their light-hearted appearance. One could complain about the contrast, but then if you showed someone an Undead Male and a Pandaren male standing side by side, they'd likely think they were from different games. Contrast isn't always bad; comical Gnomes and serious Orcs can coexist.

I would really love taurens, of both genders, to have "no-caveman" option and stand tall and pround. Also removing hump would solve alot of armor problems.
To be honest i dont see anything wrong with them looking like that:

Current model seems to have spine of hydralisk.
