i know that Taurens are best for tanking because of the extra stam
Not exactly a given since the bonus is so tiny; orc would be a good choice too.
Anyway, for DPS it's orc and troll are the typical options and of those I'd say orc is preferable since expertise and an AP cooldown is better than a haste cooldown.

Endurance
has been
base
health for quite some time which at 80 is worth about 406 health, that's almost 2% of a boss hit, big whoop.
There's little point listing the various strengths/weaknesses of all the racials since they won't remain the same come Cata, pick the one you can stand to look at and if tanking choose the one you can actually see around.

Chose whatever you like seeing on screen, the differences between races are negligible.
If you're REALLY worried about this, then go Orc, above posts explained it nicely.

The best thing to do is to simply pick the class you want to play. I chose to make a Forsaken warrior, simply because the Forsaken are the most badass faction in the game.

Most warriors out there are either tauren or orcs.
Most warriors that come from vanilla and TBC chose race upon the racial and therefore taurens were to become MT and orcs were to become good dps/pvp warrs.
Some others chose Undead for PvP reasons.
There is extremly little of troll warriors.
Racials were changed (taurens got severly nerfed).
Pick whatever you like really. I am a tauren, but i wish i could be troll, as trolls are my beloved race.
Undead was fine for tanking in vanilla though. Made a difference on Onyxia, Nefarian, Yauj, even Magmadar. Not huge, but nor are other racials.

You should reconsider Undead. Why? One word: Cannibalize. Imagine a few months from now, when your group is standing triumphant over the body of the Lich King...and you start eating him.
Revenge is a dish best served cold, Arthas.

Dunno where you got your numbers from, but they are obviously wrong with Berserking.
As for AP(and spp) vs Haste.
The more you have AP(spp) the less the additional points give you, while any additional haste scales with your other stats. Of course that all depends on class (warriors probably get least bonuses from haste).
Actually, the benefit from AP does scale - with your crit, haste, armor penetration, and even in a sense with your hit and expertise. The more crit you have, the more you will gain per extra point of AP. The more haste you have, the more you will gain per extra point of AP, etc.
It's just that AP tends to scale less since the stats it relies on change less than the AP itself does, meaning the other stats (which rely on AP for a large part of their scaling) tend to scale faster than AP. A major reason for this is that most of the other stats are percentage modifiers, which as such tend to have a cap (eg. you can't crit more than 100%, and usually the crit cap is much lower than that); AP, on the other hand, is a flat bonus to DPS which can scale infinitely (flat bonus, except that it scales with percentage modifiers of course).

I'm assuming what bugged him about about your previous post was that you took the time to show Berserking at a per second level but left Blood Fury as is thus scewing the comparison.
Blood Fury
= 40.25 AP per second
Berserking
= 36.43 haste per second
Much more balanced comparison.
Point remains, considering Cataclysm will introduce a new set of racials nothing beyond immediate taste in racials and more importantly aesthetic preference matters for class/race combos.
