Best alliance race for pvp

Best alliance race for pvp

I plan on leveling a warrior strictly for pvp and stopping in either the 39 or 49 pvp bracket. Gnomes and dwarves seem to be the most pvp oriented based on racials, however i'm having a hard time deciding between the two. Here's the two racials with my take on them.

Escape artist
1 min cd, 0.5 sec cast
Removes movement impairing effects

I went gnome on my rogue and honestly can't imagine life without escape artist. I end up using it pretty much as soon as it comes off of cd to deal with frost mages or keep up with hunters when i think they are about to trinket. Getting kited will still be an issue for a warrior if there is no LOS nearby, so i think i could get a lot of use out of this paired with intercept (for example, EA out of nova then intercept).

Stoneform
3 min cd, lasts 8 seconds
+10% armor
Immunity to bleed, poison, and disease

The immunity to poison would pretty much be an I win button vs rogues in my opinion unless i get stunlocked. From what I've heard, undead shadow priests are pretty active in the 39 bracket, so the immunity to disease would help with devouring plague.

I am open to going with either a night elf or human if a case is made for them, but they don't seem particularly good when compared to dwarf and gnome. Any input would be much appreciated.

Gnome. You already have iwin buttons against rogues: overpower, rend, disarm, and hamstring.
