Alliance racials are op as shit, humans = free pvp trinket + 10% rep.
Should have changed my main to human back in wotlk when I farmed the insane :/
Would have made my life easier.

How many bosses in ToT were beasts? In the world of Min/Max, 5% is a lot. I can't count the number of times I've seen 3% wipes....
Prepot/Lust/Trinkets/Professions/MetaGem...and add to that a 20% haste buff? In the world of Snapshotting, that extra haste is huge when every buff is rolling. For example, as a demo lock, not getting meta proc during your first UVLS proc can be the difference in 50k dps or more...
There is a reason Blizz is messing with RPPM on pulls, they specifically said the ability to line all your buffs is breaking the scaling of encounter designs.... so why they would leave a 20% haste racial around I really don't know..
Kinda going off-topic but couldn't avoid commentating on your last sentence... Adding more RNG isn't a solution to the problem. You're going to have awesome pulls and meh pulls a lot more than we're seeing now, with no real nerf to the syncing of abilities given that most burst/snapshot happens in the first 10 seconds for most classes.

Did you watch the Spiritbinder/Elegon/Durumu kill video?
Also Paragons Lei Shen vid. In all of them 90%+ of the raid was dead, and on Durumu 100% of the raid was dead!
20% haste on the pull + 5% beast damage is actually a really really really big deal. More than most of you realize as dps in this game is almost purely based of procs and stacking CDs. :P

For PVE, Horde have pretty solid racials. But in PVP if PVE trinkets are ever a problem, Human is pretty stupid. I wouldn't argue that it is a faction issue. Tauren and Blood elf racials are extremely meh, for instance.
There's a problem with racials as of now, and i too believe it should be taken care of.
However, if you put that 5% damage increase versus beasts before playing the race you wanted, i'm afraid you're one of the people who make it easier for Blizzard to keep it this way and make more money.
Right, World First races need every ounce of performance.
Regular heroic level raiding guilds would rarely (if ever) miss them.
Before you say, "BUT BUT, WE'VE WIPED AT 0.1% BEFORE AND RACIALS WOULD HAVE GOTTEN US THE KILL" - I'm sure you're not top 20 World material, and therefore there were probably numerous other issues in your 0.1% wipe that, when corrected, resulted you the kill.
I see a lot of Horde PvP complain about Alliance racials, and of course Alliance about Horde racials in PvE.
No doubt Horde racials are great (wouldn't mind the Worgen sprint, that said), but the Troll 5% to beasts really stood out particularly in this tier. Maybe there will be changes to racials in the next expansion as there has been a lot of complaint about it in this expansion in particular.
Out of interest, has a blue poster ever actually addressed this complaint on the official forums?
Horde = PvE
Alliance = PvP
Been like this since preCata /shrug, they wont bother balancing racials. If anything they will eventually get rid of them or just make them all the same.

Troll racials just worked out way too strong this tier. You can't say a flat 5% damage increase on some fights and a haste buff isn't really unfair when it is only obtainable by part the population. The argument of "L2P you can do 5% damage by playing better" is the most stupid thing ever. If blizzard was to say "your race now does 5% less damage on certain fights" there is no way in hell anyone would be making that argument. Gaining slight increases is the definition of min-maxing. An easy fight only gets easier with more damage.
Dwarf tanks break Iron Qon without even needing a paladin in the raid.
Funny, I didn't know that spiritbinder, elegon, durumu, and lei shen were beasts.
Also a lot of classes don't get haste snapshots anymore (Although they yoyo about with who does)
Also alliance (ok, humans mostly) 95% dominance in pvp seems to counter any argument of favoritism.
Trolls are only "OP" because of RPPM being the most broken mechanic blizzard refuses to remove yet. Haste scaling with RPPM is getting nerfed and be extension the troll racial.
