Hey guys, I am mulling over on what race I am going to pick for my hunter and I'm splitting hairs around orc vs troll
the biggest punch in the face is the troll feet, otherwise, i think they are pretty cool and are a much better race for hunters.
Considering that a point of concern for you is the hideous troll feel you'll have to endure for the rest of your time playing that character, I wonder if you've taken any time at all to consider the 'fantasy' of the race as well? Or would you say that aspect has zero impact on your decision?
Selexin, for example, alluded to the lore of the race, which is pretty neat. He also said something about humans I'd rather not go into, but you get the idea.
I prefer Tauren in most cases - gentle yet powerful race.
Personally, class and faction fantasy take over when I'm creating my character. If this at all plays a role in your decision making, maybe it will break your tie! It helps me to envision my character with a glorious looking tier set, for example.
Alnir I respect the dedication to your kind. Peace be with you, for you will need peace in Azeroth.

For me this is a pretty big decision maker for me. I want to feel immersed in the RPG part of the MMORPG and I also want to look good doing it!
When solo questing, the primary job of your pet will be to tank for you, not to deal damage. Therefore, the troll's bow mastery will help more than the orc's extra damage from pets. When you get into raids, it won't matter because everyone will blame you for every wipe anyways. Also, trolls have better weed and cuter women.

I disagree - hunter pets are so OP because unlike item stats that fall behind your level quickly your pet’s damage scales with you all the way to 60. This is why everyone goes BM for levelling - the pet damage is just insane and no other class matches this. It’s like having an heirloom. Therefore in my opinion tanking considerations are not as important as damage.

I agree on the weed but not on the ladys. Green is beautiful!
Concerning horde. Orc hunter is BiS unless you are not on a pvp server and have no intention of ever pvping. PVE content has a HUGE cushion for throughput and your racial choices really dont matter for pve... I'd argue that other than dwarf priests, players who plan on exclusively pveing can pretty well pick whatever aesthetic they prefer. I mean, even though +weapon skills for orc and human are awesome for melee classes, we see constant parses where optimal race players can be matched or overcome by a competent low tier races... The differences in race selection for pve are negligible and the differences can be mitigated with proper itemization.
However... for pvp... Race makes a HUGE difference... REALLY REALLY REALLY big difference. Especially hardiness.
1. Make sure you are comfortable with the looks of the race you choose. You'll be staring at your character for tens of thousands of hours.
2. Make sure that race is Human or Orc.
