Orcs are without doubt the single best race for a hunter for both PvE and PvP.
Blood elves might have a silence but it has a crucial weakness:

Activate to silence all enemies within 8 yards for 2 seconds. In addition, you regain 6% of your mana
The only class/spec I see it being useful against is death knights and retadins.
And while retadins **** me up bigtime, DK's are in general easily kited as long as you save disengage for Deathgrips.
Orcs have Blood Fury to help burst down someone, because unlike all the whiners claim it's not like we can actually just kill anyone whenever we feel like it. (Explosive shot hit me for 5k per tick, SRSLY!

15% shorter stuns is great no matter what, +5% pet damage never hurts and +5 expertise with axes, however trivial it might be still helps to avoid your wing clip being dodged/parried. (assuming you get to 2k+ rating and get PvP weapons, although the SoH axes aren't bad stuff for PvP either because of the stam they have)
