Do you know what the best race for you as Warlock? The very first thing you have to do is to decide which race your Warlock will be. Your best choice of race depends on if you want to play Alliance or Horde. You do want to be Horde, right?
For an Alliance Warlock, Gnome is the obvious winner for PvP and PvE. The Human race just does nothing for endgame raiding and in PvP the Perseption ability is not worth much especially when most PvPer will be using a Felhunter. Being a Gnome Warlock, the Gnome's Expansive mind ability is really what makes the clear winner over a Human Warlock. But even Expansive Mind isn't a big deal. Another way to look at it is that both Human Warlocks and Gnome Warlocks suck donkey balls, but Gnome Warlocks suck less because of the Expansive Mind racial ability.
For Horde Warlocks, the decision becomes much more interesting. Before the BC expansion, there was no Blood Elf race, so the choice was between Undead and Orc. Back then, the clear winner was Undead because the Orc's Blood Fury racial ability only affected melee damage, and Fear was a huge PvP issue back then making the Undead's Will of the Forsaken very valuable.
However, Post Burning Crusade is the clear winner in the Orc Warlock. Blood Fury is a great ability in PvE, and Hardiness is great in PvP. You don't have the Undead's Will of the Forsaken, but that loss is lessened by the Insignia of the Horde or the Medallion of the Horde and by diminishing returns in addition to a Tremor Totem or any class that can remove magic. You also won't have the Blood Elf's Arcane Torrent in PvP, but the Orc's Blood Fury in PvE needs to be first priority and the Hardiness in PvP is definitely very useful.
The only exception to this would be a Warlock who only intent to do arena PvP and endgame raiding is not even a possibility. In this very limited situation, the Blood Elf is the choice to be because a well timed Arcane Torrent ability can easily mean the death of your opponents in your arena games. For our part, you will miss the 15% stun resist from being an Orc, but 15% isn't high enough to over take area silence ability.
For those that feel they're in this arena-PvP-only category, we would still recommend choosing Orc instead of a Blood Elf. The reason is that we would bet eventually you will want to do some high-end raiding, in which case the Orc is better suited while still having a good PvP racial ability.
It has to admit that Orcs are the clear winners for the Horde. But for an elitist, that means that you might have to re-roll on Orc Warlock after the next expansion. Looking back and knowing what we know now, we wish we would have re-rolled an Orc Warlock for the Burning Crusade expansion. In addition to everything else, the Orc model is significantly larger than the Undead or Blood Elf models, making the endgame gear's graphics look much cooler on Orcs than any other race.
