For alliance races Gnome>Human:
1. Base STAM: Gnome = 19, Human = 20
2. Base INT: Gnome = 24, Human = 20
3. Trait 1: Gnome = Escape Artist, Human = Perception
4. Trait 2: +5%INT, Human = +10% Spirit
5. Trait 3: Gnome = +10 Arcane Resistance, Human = +10% to rep gain
6. Trait 4: Gnome = +15 Engineering, Human = +1% Expertise with Sword/Mace
Sadly both Orc and Undead > Gnome for warlocks

5. Trait 3: Gnome = +10 Arcane Resistance, Human = +10% to rep gain
You're clearly smoking crack. You can get Arcane resist from itemization and it will come in to play less that 1% of your playtime. Endgame is a rep grind and you will get the benefit of this racial 100% of the time. Winner- Human by a mile.
A) Once your rep is exalted with a faction the rep gain bonus is worthless in regards to the faction
B) The only rep I don't have as exalted that I care about is netherwing and that will change once I start doing the dailies.
C) Sure +10 Arcane resistance is not godly but it helps and it keeps working even after you reach level 70. The only way it is rendered useless by itemization is if you have 300 Arcane resist though gear

Point here is that not only will you reach exalted FASTER- ie less grind runs through an instance solely for the purpose of rep gain, you will also realize the benefits of rep faster-
meaning you hit heroics faster
, which speeds up your gear upgrade curve (hitting heroics faster will also increase your rep gain speed- so the process can't truley be said to be a straight 10% additive), which in turn gets you invites to better guilds/groups, which in turn increases your gear upgrade process.
Since 2.3 lowered the rep requirement to Honored, you only need 9000 rep to get the key. The rep bonus being a human would give you 900 rep which for most instance that relate to rep is less than 1 run doing a full clear(BF and Ramps are less than 900 for a normal run).
To get to exalted takes 42000 rep. The rep bonus would give you 4200 rep. Which is about 4 normal runs or 2 heroic runs doing a full clear.
The question becomes, how long is it taking you to do a full run? Is it 4 hours? Then yeah you might notices the rep gain difference. Is it an hour? You just might not notice.
Back to what I've said, once you are exalted this trait has zero value. The arcane resist will almost always have a little value forever.
I also notice you have not disagreed with the other assessments of why Gnome>Human for warlock.
Item 4 (+ 5% INT) alone > all the human traits
Add in the base +4 INT over humans and it is a simple choice to make
