I'm coming back to the game after a long break, A friend has asked me to join his horde guild it will be my 1st horde character I take all the way(70 mage/70 hunter both ally). Is troll a good choice I see so few of them?
Is there a reason why orc/undead and tauran are so much more popular?

Troll's a good choice if you like trolls and that's what you want to look at for 70 80 levels.

I suspect the popularity of Orc/Undead/Tauren has a lot to do with the racials. War stomp/health bonus (Tauren), the stun resist (Orc), and Fear/charm/sleep resist (undead) are all probably viewed a little better than the troll racials.

That said, while they're all probably situationally quite nice, play what you like to play.

Troll warrior here and I like it. Never had any issues with it.

WoTF and War Stomp are pretty nice, but WoTF is really geared more towards PvP while War Stomp is practical both PvE/PvP. Berserking is nice, but kind of situational. It's at its best when you are getting beat on and provides a little boost dps. I've heard that at higher levels, the attack boost from Blood Fury is pretty nice, but don't know the exact numbers on it.

In the end, choose what you want to play. Try each one for a couple of levels if you want to get a feel of the racials. If you don't like the abilities, delete that character and create a new one.

And yes, both BE sexes look a bit androginous.
If you are still thinking "omfg you're stupid for making a BE they look horrible" maybe you should go create a NE and have her pole-dance naked so you can do something smart like twiddling your privates.

I love my troll warrior, my only problem with him is that he doesn't stand up straight, and he looks ridiculous is certain pieces of armor. Other then that, he's awesome. Berserking is situational, mostly for PvP, to get get some more damage off before your die or, hell, maybe that little damage boost will save you. With a healer, its dynamite, hit berserking when your about to die, get healed, and bam, your with a 30% attack speed increase at full health. If used in Berserker stance, you can throw out some damn nice DPS for the short duration you have it.

Horde racial skills? Warriors? Depends on what you want to focus on.

DPS = Orc. Fury Warrior DW Axes and nothing but axes. Period.

PvP = Undead. PERIOD. (Stun resists are nice, aoe stuns are nice, aoe silence are nice too, but for PvP there's 2 kinds of races: Those that have WotF and those that don't.)

Tank = Tauren, Orc (and nothing but axes!) or Undead.

Mad Mojo Look = Troll.

(I'd pick Orc, but that's just me).

I have a troll warrior and he's my favorite character. Trolls may not have the best racial abilities for warriors, but they look cool, they sound cool, and they dance cool. These aesthetic considerations outweigh the practical ones for me.
