Tauren, hands down. You can already break a stun with your PvP trinket and if you carry Living Action Potions you can break a second stun with that. There's no need to depend on a 25% stun resistance proc as a Shaman. The Tauren racial War Stomp doesn't GCD so it gives you 2 seconds of free, uninterrupted casting time. It's like a lesser racial Nature's Swiftness, and NS is the strongest Shaman talent. Enhance can get a guaranteed LHW with War Stomp (which is extremely valuable), and Ele can even cast Lightning Bolt or Chain Lightning with a War Stomp. In BGs, a stun is still good to have and WS can even be used as an AoE stun in cramped spaces, plus the +5% max health from going Tauren should not be neglected either.
WS isn't always guaranteed, but usually enemies fall into the following categories:
1) Those who you want to melee (even as ele, occasionally) - ie. mages, priests, etc.
2) Those who want to melee you - ie. rogues, warriors, paladins
3) Hunters who you want to deadzone.
If it isn't #3, there are decent odds you can war stomp them.
It is also worth noting that the Orc attack power racial is bad because it only increases base AP and it halves your healing.
