which race for which spec?

OK title says all!
what would you pick:

ORC, TROLL, TAUREN

elemental, enhancement, restoration
pvp, pve

in addition:
i am interested in pvp enhancement

orc:
axe specialization: skill with axes and two-handed axes increased by 5.
hardiness: chance to resist stun effects increased by an additional 25%.

vs.

tauren:
war stomp: stuns up to 5 enemies within 8 yds for 2 sec. 2 min cooldown.
endurance: total health increased by 5%.

cant decide... war stomp sounds too good!

PVE:
Restoration: Troll(berserking)(NOT SURE IF WORKING ON NOST)
Elemental: Troll(berserking)(NOT SURE IF WORKING ON NOST)
Enhancement: Orc (+5 glancing axes & blood fury)

PVP:
Restoration: orc or tauren
Elemental: orc or tauren
Enhancement: orc

It really is up in the air pvp wise between orc and tauren. I however, would not advise tauren if you simply want to play enhancement pvp because the war stomp is most suited for quick nukes or heals(need the +spellpower/healing from being resto/elemental to get the most out of it). The orc stun resistance is extremely good with all three pvp specs so if you want the most well rounded and arguably(the best shaman race for pvp) go orc.

Troll enhancement isn't that bad in PvE either.
You have slightly more agility and 10% haste at full health with Berserking, which is pretty awesome too.
It's all about keeping that Nightfall buff going and haste is the key.

Orc's Blood Fury can often be your death sentence, even in PvE situations.

In my opinion Berserking>Blood Fury in PvE.
The axe specialisation on the other hand is really good too.
It reduces the chance for glancing blows, which is a big thing for enhancement, glancing blows are really annoying.
