whatever you want to play, trolls can be good too, esp on encounters that everyone takes damage on [like nightbane or gruul or shade of aran etc.] the zerking buff they get can be quite awesome with flurry active.
blood elves are also good at pvp with the silence thing, not just undead. you also forget that orcs get a stun resist too, which also makes them quite formidable in pvp.
war stomp is fun with tauren, but it's really an all or nothing move and usually isn't regarded as being too effective if you're playing against people of high caliber
Xordon was joking about Blood Elves. I had a solid laugh from it. Wish I could rate him up, but alas.
Anyway, my rambling point is you can't make a Blood Elf warrior.
As for the OP, the advice given by Jimpadan is solid. I'll explain.
Orcs are best for PVE DPS, with Trolls in second. Reason? Orcs get a racial move that dramatically increases attack power (decreases healing like Mortal Strike though) for a brief period of time as well as a flat increase in axe skill (+9 which acts as 0.36% more crit chance as well as an increase in hit and possibly attack power? not sure, all I've ever paid attention to is the crit chance, I'm a crit fanatic) and a resist to stuns. Trolls get their berserker move that increases damage depending on how wounded you are.
Taurens are best for tanking. Pretty obvious why, they get a 5% increase to HP as well as a decent AOE stun.
Undead are best for pvp. Reason why is Will of the Forsaken, an extra fear break.
