Okay, I have posted several threads, discussed with guildmates, and read strategy FAQs. I have decided to make a Paladin with the intention of Tanking 5-man instances. That being said I am still undecided on race. I know I want to make either Dranei or Dwarf because my other characters are Humans and I don't like the Human male look anyways. Between the Dranei and Dwarf I don't really love either look but I don't dislike either of them so that's not really helping me decide.
A lot of people have stated that Dwarf Stoneform is good in PvP and PvE for a Tankadin, so that has me slightly leaning towards Dwarf. However one thing that has me hesitating is that if I get to high levels and decide to switch specs to a Healer then being Dranei would probably be better because of their racial HoT. So I guess my question is this, if I decide to roll a Dwarf and then end up switching to Healer at higher levels will I miss the HoT badly or is it just a small benefit? And by the same token, if I go Dranei and end up staying as a Tank how much will my tank miss having Stoneform in PvP? in PvE?
