I am now orc and i play demonology but i am thinking of going to become goblin. How big dps decrease will i see then? Since i know orc is the best to be but i just love goblins. I am tailoring and JC if it matters.

Ignore simcraft.
the difference will generally be less than the margin of error of any empirical testing you may do with your own characters.
(unless you are the goddamn most bestest elite player in the whole world)
Also Rocket Jump saves lives.
Play what you love.
Undead .....Yolo

What I usually say is if a race has a racial that benefits you somehow it doesn't really matter when you compare it to another race. In other words it's perfectly fine to go for Orc, Goblin, Undead, Troll or Goblin as Horde. On the Alliance side it would be the same for Worgen, Gnome and Human (if you have a weapon that benefits from their racials). It's the same for professions too.
So yeah, as long as your guild doesn't force you to play the best possible race for your class and have the best professions, feel free to go whatever you prefer. It's not really that big of a deal.
1% free hit > 1% shitty crit says the human
Best alliance race would then be gnome, because you get the hit from the dagger and the sword...
Even then the sprint + the 1% crit > the 1% hit + free unbound will.
340 hit rating is 1% hit
600 crit rating is 1% crit
Crit isn't a bad stat. It's just not as good as haste or mastery or hit... but when the value is nearly twice as high as that of hit, then it's most certainly better. You could compare it to 600 intellect vs 700 mastery in terms of which is better, I am sure nobody needs to be told that the 600 intellect is.
And in terms of reforging, if you reforge that 340 hit to mastery, your strongest stat as affliction, you get this:
Assuming Mastery has a value of 2.66 and Crit a value of 1.72 (I have these values from my own patchwerk sim)
340 hit -> mastery = 904.4 dps
600 crit = 1032 dps
.. Somebody give me a source saying that 340 hit rating is better than 600 crit rating in some scenario somewhere... because I would really like to see the proof of such an outrageous statement!

I play an Orc. It can be troublesome because the pet damage bonus does not translate to Grimoire of Sacrifice, and Blood Fury becomes a timing hassle once you get your 4pc bonus. If I had $25.00 to throw away I would go Undead or Goblin in a heartbeat.
I find Troll simming highest for Affliction.
Pretty sure Orc is still the best for Demonology however there are no fights were you should play that spec.
Your professions do not change anything, however you should drop JC for Engineering.
Dropped Orc and became a fucking ugly Troll, even tho i dont like them ;( Min/maxing ftw i guess
As Teye already mentioned, it´s really good - if u delay your 3rd DS for like 2sec, u can "sinc" it with our second Beserking (using felflame), thus having max during dots with +50% haste.
Recently pulled 111k on Bladelord heroic with this strat, its just unbelievable good......

Yet Simcraft still uses Orc for Aff with Sacrifice.
As far as hating how Trolls look, I would have gone Female if I were you. No giant tusks sticking out of your helm, no slouching at a 45 degree angle, and the casting animations are a lot better imo.

Spreading baseless theories effectively missleading people, whether with or without intention is mean imo. Hence me attempting to correct you.
It's an easy fact though, in terms of numbers, which racial is better in regards to 1% hit vs 1% crit. As soon as you know the scale factors it's just like picking and choosing a necklace or any other item.
