No one is denying that it is possible to play a disadvantaged race/class combination.
Dude! You can't even remember what you wrote yourself? Or what others wrote?
Well let me quote the earlier posts here to which I reacted:
Armilus wrote:Priest (alliance)-> Night Elf is useless
Useless. Not just that fear ward is more useful than Starshards but apparently nelf priests can't heal.
Armilus wrote:Warrior (Alliance) -> Dwarf is useless for PvE
Useless. Not just that nelfs have bit more dodge but apparently dorfs don't have defensive stance or taunt.

Not viable. Rhook seems to agree with you that nelf priests can't heal.
Should I also re-quote what you said about alliance warlocks? Yeah, let's.
Armilus wrote:That one racial is the #1 reason why you shouldn't play an Alliance Warlock
You didn't say that "UD racial makes life difficult for Alliance warlocks", you straight up claimed that nobody should play a lock on Alliance side.
Also, nice attempt at the popularity argument - somehow those hundreds of Alliance warlocks manage to play just fine, as is proven by the fact that they EXIST by the census Noxm posted. If you were right in that claim, then we wouldn't have many warlocks, if any at all.

Then it's even more baffling that you said that. Maybe the guilds aiming for world & server firsts were keen enough on maximizing efficiency that they only accepted dorf priests and tauren tanks but it certainly was not a general sentiment or a common policy. My old guild had dorf, human and nelf priests, our main MT was a gnome warrior and the second MT was a human. Somehow we managed to have BWL on farm and were progressing in AQ40 when TBC came.
That's what I meant by my last paragraph of binary thinking, which you so amply demonstrate. Showing up at time, knowing the strategies, bringing necessary consumables and being able to play your class intelligently are far more valuable to a raiding guild than 5% health or a situational buff that is useful on Magmadar and Onyxia currently and will only be applicable at Nefarian when BWL comes out.
