Humans are probably the best going forward for PVP, it used to be dwarves since any rogue escape, no matter how slight a chance is a huge advantage. Breaking fears is really nice in PVP though, but blood elves probably have the highest % to be flat out missed by spells which is also nice.
For PVP, I'll say they make a difference, occasionally they are game winning. I'd consider myself to be lying if I said racials make no difference. That said, for PVE they make far less of a difference, and blood elves are middle of the pack decent anyways. If you really wanted to min-max for endgame PVP it would be human right now, but who knows, maybe by the time you got one to 80 and geared some other race would get buffed while yours gets nerfed, etc..
That said dwarves were extremely strong for like 4 years so..
Being human (as a priest) used to suck, drastically. At least, for PvP. The only consolation we had, our racial spells didn't suck NEARLY as bad as the NE's did.
Now, don't get me wrong, Desperate Prayer was great. It's only slightly less useful as a talented spell. The other racial (it sucked so bad it's name now escapes me ... Aren't repressed memories fun?), was so bad I barely even remembered we had it.
Now, Humans are great for PvP. Being able to use both trinket slots for actually USEFUL trinkets and still have the "break any effect that makes you lose control of your character" abilty - priceless. And the +10% rep gain makes all the rep grinds that much easier.
