Racials needs to be changed.

Raciels have been in the game since launch and some thought was given to them when Battlegrounds where introduced, who had the most imba racials and such, but no good solotion was made.


The Problem
I never saw WoW as a really good pvp game until Arena was intruduced, which I think is marvelous. However when I rolled this Toon my goal was PvE, and I rolled it together with a lot of friends, and they choose alliance. But since University I do not have the gaming time to raid in WoW anymore, but that brings the beauty of Arena forward (Except for honor grinding, which seems to be lowered "abit" in 2.3) here you can be good without using all your sparetime on it.

But Arena has one major flaw!
Racial Balance!
As I stated I rolled this char for PvE so I choose a Draenei because it had some good PvE racials, but now I want to PvP, so my racials are close to useless (Healing 1085 hp of 12000 unbuffed really aint good taking the 1.5s cast time in consideration) and what can I then do about this?
Reroll
The golden answer to everything, however that is extremely time consuming and I want to have horde racials so my teammates needs to reroll as well, then grind honor gear and use week after week to get all the arena gear.

Solotion
I see 2 solutions (Please input with more if you have some good suggestions)
1. Remove Racials
The brutal but easiest solotion.
2. Make racials trainable/untrainable (Like Talents)
This could be the most balanced way and would should not ruin PvE neither PvP from my point of view.
One reason why this seems impossible is WoW's Lore, but to be honest, just rename the abilities abit and they don't interfere with the lore.
If Will of the forsaken is changed to something like Iron will (I know the name already exists, I am not that creative)
Why can't a tauren be agile and have escape artist? (He can already change to a cat, so can't be that hard)

It should not be that hard to fix this ever growing problem.

.. people have been complaining about them ever since.

Diversity of races are one of the fun factors in WoW. It's a part of most players choices when they create a character. It is not something that's supposed to be balanced.

P.S. Try to find a spell checker extension for your browser. Even if English isn't your native tongue, it doesn't hurt to correct common spelling errors, so your message gets a little clearer.
