Half of this I like the other half is BULLSHIT. I’ll let you decide which is which 
(src)
Changes that should be in the next beta push. Bear in mind that some of these may change somewhat or entirely, and there may also be other changes coming in subsequent pushes:
Orc
- Hardiness now reduces the duration of stun effects by 15%
Troll
- Racial Passive “The Voodoo Shuffle”: Reduces the duration of all movement impairing effects by 15%. Trolls be flippin’ out mon!
- Berserking: no longer has an activation cost of energy/rage/etc
Draenei
- Gift of the Naaru: now scales based on the higher of either the caster’s Attack Power or Spell Power
Dwarf
- Frost Resistance: reduces the chance to be hit by Frost spells by 2%
Undead
- Shadow Resistance: reduces the chance to be hit by Shadow spells by 1% (yes, this is lower than the other resistance racials)
Night Elf
- Quickness: reduces the chance to be hit by melee or ranged attacks by 2%
- Nature Resistance: reduces the chance to be hit by Nature spells by 3%
Tauren
- Endurance: now scales based on base health, to be tuned to approximately a 5% heath increase if the player were wearing green quality gear
- Nature Resistance: reduces the chance to be hit by Nature spells by 2%
Gnome
- Escape Artist: the freeing effect can no longer be resisted
- Arcane Resistance: reduces the chance to be hit by Arcane spells by 2%
Blood Elf
- Mana Tap: ability removed (partially integrated into Arcane Torrent)
- Arcane Torrent: restores 15 energy, 15 runic power, or 6% of mana to the Blood Elf (along with the current 2s silence effect)
Human
- Perception: changed to a passive, now grants one character level of passive stealth detection
- Racial “The Fall of Humanity”: Feign death which may trick enemies into ignoring you. Any threat is restored versus enemies still in combat upon cancellation of this effect. 5min cooldown
- Racial Passive “Human Supremacy”: The dominance of Humanity is evidenced by having one more racial bonus than normal. Actually, make that two counting this one. (just a tooltip, no actual functionality)
Interesting changes. The only one that makes me scream “BULLSHIT!” Is the free feign death humans are getting. I have a rogue, so on top of Vanish, Blind, and gouge to get away if things get hairy, I’m also getting a fein death. As awesome as that sounds, it also doesn’t sound very balanced.
And I liked having Perception just the way it is. In combination with my stealth, it was useful for scouting.
Well it says “may trick” and it’s not like a real FD..doesn’t wipe threat.
[...] anycase you can rely on Blizzard to mix it up at any opportunity and I hear from SpoonCraft that racials are one of the things that will probably change come the next [...]
Does this mean that there will no longer be shadowmeld for NE’s? Cause I am tired of trying to scout a node in a bg and having 6 allies in SM waiting.
may trick = can be resisted just like FD
shadowmeld wasn’t removed far as I can see so yeah alliance is now grossly favored
NE currently have both quickness and a nature resist these are just changes to those things shadowmeld currently is not listed just like stoneform is not listed for dwarves.
I would imagine it is because there are no planned changes.
I think scalling the racials, giving a % rather than a base number, makes selection of your class more important in endgame then before yet still doensnt gimp anyone else. It’s nice to see.

FD for ALL humans!!?!
I can’t believe it… What’s next? Will Blizz destroy the bridge on AV ally base to help the allys a little more?
And tauren racial nerfed… woooo… come on! Blizz, give another unbalanced racial to ally rogues…
Humans will have FD, Gnomes can use escapism and NE has a 2% reduction on chance to hit… maybe ‘Can not be target’ talent on 3.1 xD
I like to apologize about this /cry… but Blizz now… OMG!!!! Have you think about LOCKS with FD?!!?!!
Sorry mages, you’ll never cast again a not-instant spell on BGs to humans… xD
