towards the end of the expansion, it is likely we are going to have things open up for both Dracthyr or the Evoker class....
Question is, which would you prefer at the end of 10.0?
1. The Evoker to now be opened up to other races
2. The Dracthyr visage form able to now choose another race.
Do bear in mind, there will be restrictions either way... for example, if Evoker opens up to other races, I expect only magical races of larger size to ahve access (i.e. Draenei, green Orcs, Worgen, all Trolls, all elves, HM Tauren, Forsaken and Pandas) if Visage form could have other races (i think all races except maybe Forsaken and Mechagnomes could actually be selectable - really you could make every race have access in both cases, but I think doing a visage form of every race would be harder than opening up the Evoker class to other races. Because if you do the former, people will demand the current visage forms wide arragnemetn of customisations rather than just the race they want.
Who knows, which would you prefer

There is also the option of both.
I mean I can't think Dragons will do an undead visage form so they will technically miss out on that option, but Forsaken being able to become Evokers should be possible. The opposite is true for the small races like Goblin, Gnome, Mechagnome, Vulpera, Dwarf and Dark Iron, - they wouldn't be able to be Evoker ( to small or not intrinsically magical or both), however a Dracthyr should be able to take a visage form of all of them.
They could also in combination be restrictive - i.e. if your race can be an Evoker, then the Dracthyr can't take the visage form of that race. The only disadvantage here is off course when Dracthyr also become able to be other classes it may feel restrictive against those who were cut out because the race could become Evokers.
Also the combat limitation might be more restricted with the non-Dracthyr visage forms.. so you can only fight in combat with the original dracthyr visage form, if you have picked a visage form from an existing race, then you will always be in Dragon form for combat like the worgen. I can see this happening.
Realistically, it's either/or
Both is possible, but realistically, one option pretty much makes the other fairly obsolete, even though both is possible, it's either or, an doff course neither is also - they are well within their rights to eave as is - that ist he concept of the race.
At the end of the day, Dracthyr are a dragon/humanoid hybrid - not a full dragon, so they don't have to follow the dragons perefectly meaning you can make up what you want for why they can't take on visage forms of any race like a dragon can or limit this ability to only ever being able to use one race's visage form - and that is selected at character creation.
What they won't have is you able to switch from say Tauren visage form to an Orc one or human one via barber shop.
5th option:
You can glyph to a visage form of any race you like down the line and just remove the extra work
Question 2:
Would having visage form from other races negate the need for Dracthyr to have access to other classes or would you still like Dracthyr to have access to another classes even with being able to take on the visage of any playable race?
The Pics Below Work bother for Evoker Class on other races or Visage Form of other races
In fact, it is actually ore doable if the forms shown below happen as Evokers on other classes, than being on the Dracthyr class.
It's like if Demon hunters were available to every race,
They could re-envision how they do them as follows. The Evoker class becomes available to all these races, and you get these customisations for the Evoker class - just like you had for DHs and DKs, the difference between other race Evoker's and Drachtyr evokers is dragon form, other race Evokers get phantom magical wings and tails when they do dragon abilities, tapping into draconic power or blood - maybe they are mortals who have been fused with draconic magirc or blood. Meanwhile a Drachtyr ofc is a dragon.
This would also mean the Drachtyr will learn to be other classes
