Seeing the race you like on screen everyday is going to make the game more fun than choosing racial X over Y. If you like Gnome, I encourage you to play it and not let racials discourage you. That intellect boost doesn't hurt either. Gnomes can obtain the highest mana pool and spell crit chance thanks to this bonus, which other races cannot obtain. If you like nuke crits, and want more of them, that is what Gnome gives you.
Personally, I prefer Undead for my Rogue and casters, Orc for my beefy classes(Warrior/Shaman/Hunter), and Elf for Druid(I don't like Tauren). I'm not fond of any of the other races. If I roll Paladin, I'll take Human as I don't like playing midgets either. But some people like Dwarf/Gnome. If you do, roll one. Stoneform is great, and I can only imagine how fun Track Treasure is to have.
Thank you for advice, but ˝problem˝ is that I like Undead too, not just racialwise (being part of the Horde helps), and if I could pick it based on racials alone, my lock would be Orc (statistically, based on expected numbers of Warriors and - especially! - Rogues).
Unfortunately, Orcs simply ˝fit˝ much better as warriors/shammys. But let´s say that, if it was looks only, I would have tough time picking between Gnome and Undead.
