-Monk: Goblin, Worgen, and Lightforged Draenei
could enjoy being monks theoretically right now, since all the animations and textures are already present in the game.
similarly
-Warlock: Draenei, Lightforged Draenei, Night Elf, Kul Tiran Human, Pandaren, Tauren, High Mountain Tauren, Mag'har Orcs and Zandalari Trolls -> (which are highly requested as is) could become warlocks this instant, since all textures and animations are once again in the game right now.
Other Classes, specifically: Paladin, Shaman, Druid, Demon Hunter (especially Demon Hunters as they would require a tremendous amount of player skins) would need much much more work to become race-wide, but Monks and Warlocks are still ready now.
When do you think they will announce race-wide Monks and warlocks? 10.1? 10.2? Next Expansion? I understand Blizzard wants to hold back monks and warlocks for marketing reasons, but honestly, 10.1 would be perfect for their announcement if not earlier.
On this topic:
Since Shaman and Paladin are traditionally Horde and Alliance classes respectively, there is a disparity of 8 shaman races on Horde and 4 shaman races on Alliance side. Not counting Pandaren since Pandaren shaman can choose to be Alliance or Horde.
Paladins are much fewer, and I propose to bring them on the same level as shaman, but invertedly: 8 Alliance paladin races and 4 Horde paladin races:
New Alliance Paladin Races: Night Elf, Void Elf, Kul Tiran
New Horde Paladin Race: Nightborne
I didn't include a Pandaren Paladin, since as discussed before, both Alliance and Horde side can potentially get their Shaman.
