Pick the race (and faction) which appeals to you most.
If you really care about the racial bonuses, then it mostly depends upon what you want to do... Elemental, Enhance, or Resto. And whether you are planning to PvP at all, or strictly do PvE.

You can't go wrong with
Racial - Orc
for Ele/Enhance... and especially, Enhance. +5% Pet Damage, a fat bonus to axe expertise, and Blood Fury to boost BOTH spell and melee damage. (Shamans get doubly buffed by Blood Fury, as opposed to other classes) The Orc's shortened stuns also doesn't hurt in PvP.
Being a
Tauren
would provide you with War Stomp and an extra boost to your HP.
But yeah, I'm very much loving my Goblin Shaman. Take a look at the various
Racial Skills
.

Because Horde are the original shaman.

My shaman is a troll. Why? I love how troll shaman look in combat and that sold it for me.
If you want a few more points instead of pure awesomeness then:
They got Da Voodoo Shuffle, mon!
They have berserking, which is a fairly nice cd, especially if needing to heal or if you just want to atral recall faster.
and lastly, a passive hp over time, which has actually saved my life when I have like 250 hp left and get hit for 252 and still alive because my hp regen slightly =D
Other than that, you can either have slightly better racials from others or you you could look cool with nothing more than the power of which is a shaman!
TL;DR: You will destroy with any race you choose just because you are a shaman and nothing more.

Dwarf, dwarf for everything. You cannot go wrong with dwarf.

Troll or Dwarf.
... maybe Goblin or a female Draenei as a second choice.
But yeah... Troll or Dwarf.
Unless you don't like Trolls or Dwarves, in which case you're never allowed to post again.

My Shaman was originally Orc. Then Troll, because Orcs can look odd on mounts at times. Troll definitely looked better with my Swift Spectral Tiger. I loved him as a Troll. Really. The haste was second to no other buff for pushing out the Resto heals. And finally, he went Goblin, because he is an alchemist. And, because I liked the idea of a little bit 'O midget payback for all the Gnome DKs, Rogues and Warlocks I've run into in battlegrounds. More than anything else, having a midget (who moves at the same actual rate as his much larger counterparts, including the slow-shuffling Taunrens) FEELS fast.
I could see Dwarf Shamans being an excellent choice for a Enhancement off-tank in situations, with the Dwarf racials. If I were to switch to alliance (as my Shaman apparently has some "race confusion" going on) I would most definitely go Dwarf, even though I think Draenei chicks are the hottest in the game.

come to the allince man!
and yea draenei chicks are the hottest in the game :)
on how realm you are?
if we are in the same realm i wound like happy to play whit a so good shaman player XD
Heh, thanks. I'm on Black Dragonflight. We Hordies have beat the Alliance into a thin paste on that PvP server. ;-)
But I've started a Worgen druid, and am planning to make a guild named <Slumming> for my guildies and myself to put Alliance alts in. =)
What server do yo play on?
Thus far? I've tried to come with an open mind to playing on the Alliance side -- and honestly, it's been kind of cool, to experience the game as if I'm playing it as a new WoW gamer all over again -- but I'm finding that it's true (at least, on my server) that the Alliance's players are less mature than the Horde, overall. It's not like the Horde has a monopoly on non-trollish coolness, but I'm seeing much more stupdity on the Alliance side. And I thought nothing could get as bad as Horde tradechat.
