A big butch manly (orcly?) scary Orc in a dress....I mean what more could you ask for?
never lost a dps race in my alt troll frost mage(70). Icy Veins + Troll Racial + (BL/Hero/TW/...) = OMGWTFBBQ DPS.

You can't have "best" (statistical) and "opinion" in the same sentence.
Pretty sure best in terms of PvE is troll, no idea about PvP, and best looking imo is blood elf but you may have different views
Orcs in dresses are the best pvp racial, every enemy will look at you and think "An orc in a dress? What the hell?". It works like a permanent stun. That's also the reason why orc warlocks are so feared!
cutest: female blood elf or female goblin.
archdruid valentyne -- kel'thuzad, us | RP & M+ PVE
Undead mage, total stereotype.
Troll for looks
Goblin for racials, and looks, but not as cool as troll.
Orc...
In a dress....
.....
That is all
For PvP, Goblin. The Rocket Jump and 1% passive haste are very useful. Also, you get awesome things like Pack Hobgoblin and Best Deals anywhere.
For PvE, Troll, I believe.
PvE Troll
PvP Undead
Looks Undead
Troll because KAAAMEEEEEEEEE
HAAAAAAAAAAMEEEEEEEEEEEEE
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
every time they cast
Orcs, Goblins and Trolls should not be mages. These are not races that would be capable of wielding such immense powers. They're primitive and quite frankly, stupid. Goblins only concern themselves and are somwhat on par with Gnomes in terms of technological advancement but I don't see them being able to take the time to learn the arts of the arcane. Trolls are a bunch of superstitious, cannibalistic halfwits who really serve no purpose other than to be cannon fodder. The very same could be said for Orcs and while I do admire Gul'dan's mastery over the powers of being a warlock, it's not quite like being a mage.
That leaves Undead and Blood Elves. Undead are shells of their former selves and seem to be comprised of only the most ruthless and unforgiving folks so them being a mage doesn't quite match up to how nearly all of them are trying to scour the world of life. Which leaves Blood Elves who have always had a knack for the arcane as well as the fel. They're also highly intelligent with the only city Horde side that looks even remotely civilized. They also had to endure a lot more than other races so there's always that to make them look "edgier". Oh, and the racial is really good and they're the only race on the Horde that doesn't make a person want to gouge their eyes out.
Except for female Blood Elves. Those should all die.
Appearance wise, i'd go for undead (personal preference). Pve wise i'd take trolls. Pvp i'd take goblins (OP rocket jump).
