Orc
ALL pets deal more damage
increases expertise with axes which DKs generally use
AP cooldown that effects all forms of offense
reduced stun duration
Troll
increased damage to beasts
DKs don't use bows
haste cooldown that effects autoattacks which would be best for frost but still not all too amazing
health regen based on spirit which as all DKs know is more valuable than spirit is for a resto druid right
however the deciding factor comes down to who's head you'd like to stare at the back of and personally i like trolls more than all other races..too bad night elves have the best racial for bear tanks but then again night elves and trolls are related depending on your theory

Long cloaks block nearly any backside shots of any character at a certain level. Once you get the longer cloaks.

Orcs look better in armor sets.
Personally i think the only racial that really matters for DK Tanks is the NE 2% dodge bonus, which is pretty OP IMO.

Assuming you were using an Axe, getting a free 5 expertise is a tanking racial, since that helps reduce parry hasted attacks for mobs.
Also, I love the Orc shoulders.

i suppose i should've stated defensive/offensive racials instead of tanking/dps but assumed everyone would catch my drift, expertise may prevent the mob from parrygibbing but it's still moreso an offensive racial in that it helps outgoing dps land

Go with what you love.
Technically speaking, Orcs own the racials... But i wouldn't be able to stand looking at one for the next 25 levels and the chance that either of
those
racials will make or break a fight is slim.
Personally, I'll take the third option... My Loligoth BE DK :D
