PvE Discipline Priest Healer Best Races
A variety of races can be Priests in WotLK: Human, Dwarf, Night Elf and Draenei for the Alliance, as well as Undead, Troll and Blood Elf for the Horde.
Thankfully, the difference in performance between the races is pretty small for healers. While some races are clearly slightly better and some are clearly slightly worse, as a healer you could pick any race that looks good to you, and do just fine.
Horde
Blood Elf is by the strongest race for Horde Discipline Priests. This is largely due to the Arcane Torrent racial, which restores 6% of our total mana. The other races we can pick simply don’t have any healing-boosting racials, meaning
Blood Elf is our only recommended option.
Alliance
Human is seen as the strongest option for Alliance Discipline Priests, mainly due to The Human Spirit which increases your Spirit by 3%. Every Man for Himself is also an excellent racial effect, particularly in PvP. Like with most healers that can be play as that race however,
Draenei is also a great choice for Disc Priests, as every raid needs 4+
Draenei and healers generally don’t get any extremely useful effects from other races so they’re penalized the least.

Hey guys – error here with the mention of the troll racial Berserking.
Should be fixed now!
