You're absolutely correct in this. I don't particularly want the visage form, I want a cool draconic humanoid that can show all my gear, but that seemed to be a technical limitation, so we have this compromise. It's a bit of a bummer, but I'm not raging over it since we can stick to visage form out of combat.

The races that make most sense are night elves, humans and blood/high elves. Night Elves have always had a strong connection with the green dragonflight and most of its members seem to favor Night Elf forms (Ysera, Merithra). Blood elves and humans seem to be favored by most other dragonflights (red, blue, black and bronze). Other races that should be considered are tauren, trolls, gnomes and (maybe) dwarves.
All of the races mentioned above are either native to Azeroth or have some connection to the Titans.
Draenei and orcs are alien to Azeroth and I don't believe dragons have ever taken their form. The exception was Kairozdormu who shifted into an orc on alternate Draenor, and he only did that to blend in. Considering the history dragons have with orcs, I doubt most of them would even be willing to take their form
Worgen and Forsaken are cursed humans so taking their form makes very little sense.
I personally care very little about Pandaren and Goblins I don't think any dragon has ever taken their form.

Night elves, blood elves, humans, gnomes, tauren, trolls make the most sense imo. Worgen, orcs, goblins, pandaren and draenei are out of question in my opinion.
WEll, they could give Evokers to every race, and do visage forms for each. But if they were to extend it.. I would feel the races that dragons have usually taken might be the first considered.
i.e. Night/high elves (possibly their sub races too), human, tauren and gnome.
Another criteria could be size - humanoid is part of the dracthyr race, butif Evokers were to be playable, it may require larger races.. so Human, Night elf, Worgen, Draenei, Orc, Tauren and Troll - we might cross out Orc and Draenei - don't know how compatible they are not being Azeroth natives - but that depends on the Evoker class tory for other races...
do we go
1. Races that evovled from elemntals - i.e. trolls and leves? or strong elemental connection too - i.e. dwarves, tauren, draenenei?
Do we go dragon infusion or empowerment? Infusion begs the question of compatibility Elven, troll, vrykul/human could qualify.. empowerment can open the door to everyone.
They can make it any race or all.. but if they were going to limit it I would say
Night/blood elves, trolls, Human, Tauren, Worgen, Pandas - possible extension to Orc and Draenei. - no midgets.
Yep, and they have lizard/reptilian eyes too.
I agree.The general consensus here seems to be “this brand new unestablished thing doesn’t play by my established rules for established things and that makes me mad”, like, compromise? you do not make the game, why in the world should blizzard compromise with you! It feels entitled but that’s me personally

https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/WrathionHeritage
While Wrathion refers to Deathwing as his father, this claim is dubious, since Sinestra was previously established as the only dragon to survive mating with him after he succumbed to corruption.[81] When asked about Wrathion's lineage, Dave Kosak confirmed the theory that Deathwing isn't Wrathion's literal father, and tweeted the following:
"We don't know who Wrathion's literal father is. Certainly he's in Deathwing's lineage. He considers DW to be his father, FWIW."[82]
"Wrathion likely took the "Prince" title himself, claiming to be the "true" heir of Deathwing."[1]
While Wrathion's mother is clearly Nyxondra, the identity of his father is unclear. Neltharion/Deathwing is the leader of the black dragonflight and as such is likely seen as the father of the entire flight (which could be why he refers to Deathwing's actions and why the legendary daggers are named Fangs of the Father). As there is no real shortage of other named (and unnamed) male black dragons, Wrathion's actual father could have been any of them.
I would be ok with the option to just have any race be a visage form even if they don't have any extra customization option like the standard visage forms
