Back when I made my priest... ahh the memories. I wanted to be one of the good guys, so it had to be Alliance. (Knowing nothing of warcraft, horde seemed pretty evil, with orcs and undead and stuff) First I made a Hunter(dwarf), then a paladin (human I think?), but then I wanted to try something different. So I made a priest. And since I had allready made a dwarf, I knew that they were awesome!
And that is why I chose a dwarven priest!
Then I could begin to talk about how I leveled as Holy to 80, and did not want to respecc to shadow, because that seemed against the Idea of a true roleplaying game (in my head atleast).... but that is for another thread
