Playing Dwarf Priest, picking it cause I like dwarves. If I wanted the racials I'd go for human probably.

I have, and always will play the race and class combo that I want to play. If I would play a priest it would be Human, and if I'm denied because of that, I don't really want to play with them anyway. Fear ward is good for only, what? BWL and Onyxia? No need to be a try hard in Classic, content will fall anyway. I will play a human warrior, and I'll happily stance dance as I did back in the days on Nef and Ony.
I won't be playing anywhere near the level where racial abilities will make a significant difference. So, no.
I'll be going for whatever I think looks/feels the best for a priest (which will probably be night elf, since we're talking about Classic here). Dwarf is my favorite race and what I'll be maining (dwarf warrior is my plan), but I think night elf is more fitting for a priest.
If I made an alliance priest it would be a dwarf, just because I made a human in vanilla, still play her, and would want some variety and NE priest doesn't appeal to me. For horde I'm less sure which I would choose, though I lean troll.

A number of priests in our guild are rolling dwarf for Fear Ward.
