Observation, I generally see more groups looking for Mages than for Hunters or Rogues, so if you're worried about being able to group, take that into consideration. Also, Rogues and Hunters are well-known for being poor quality players, and there are a lot of people reluctant to deal with them.
Opinion, I've tried out every class, and find Mages to be the most boring(even worse than Paladins, yes) so personally I'd avoid rolling a Mage like the plague.
Out of the other two, I think that Rogues are much more simple to play(Stealth, Cheapshot, Sinister Strike x3, Eviscerate/Kidney shot, repeat until dead) but Hunters are much easier in terms of leveling up(They've got pretty little kitties with 6000 armor and 5000 hp)
Races.. Well, there really isn't a game-breaking difference between the races really.. For a Rogue, I'd pick Human, Undead, or Blood Elf. For a Hunter, I'd go Dwarf, Blood Elf, or Orc.
Dwarves and Humans
, it's absolutely nothing to do with the racials. Those are the only two Alliance races I like.
Undead
have a nice Cannibalize racial ability to help take down some downtime(when dealing with humanoids at least) that Rogues could really use.
Blood Elves
are my favorites in terms of looks. Their Arcane Torrent ability is nice, but it's not like it's a massive return. It's 30e maximum on a rogue, and on my Hunter(65) it'll return 450 with 3 charges(10%, enough for a Mend Pet and almost 2 Steady Shots).
Orc
have a nice buff for pets, +5% damage done. Also they've got the Blood Fury racial which will give you a temporary AP boost.
I'd say, decide on a class, and then pick the race you think looks the best.

Mage's are a blast to play, literally. Being able to blow up things from far and to escape almost any mobs are really great.
I tried out other classes after playing my mage, and found that I'm taking way longer to kill stuff. ;)

If you are really into BE, then its best be a caster to fully use your racials. But i think racials are just a boost to your char and nothing too special so you can put that aside.
Mage: tried it deleted it at lvl 12. Pretty annoying to fight in PvP for me so is probably fun. You can get a group easier. BIG mana drainer, thats why i think blizz let them conjure :P
Hunter: Personal fave, lvling one right now currently lvl 64. Very fun PvP in my opinion. Very common on my server so probably every group would have one.
Rogue: First char i rolled since i tohught ninjas were pretty cool. Stopped at 56 because it was getting really boring for me. Nice PvP too as sub...
But really the choice is yours, if you still can't make up your mind i suggest you go try them out till lvl 10-14? or something

As you can see, you will get many different answers to this question, I would suggest leveling all 3 to 20 or so then decide. May take a bit of time, but less so than leveling a toon to 70 before you decide you dont like him. Personally, I find hunters very boring while mages and rogues are alot of fun. Rogues are easier to play and have very little down time and probably level faster do to that.
