I prefer Dranei warriors for the tail and their goofy legs. Human warriors get a boost on reputation and extra sword skill that becomes useful at the higher level. Dwarf seem well suited for this role as their burly stature and brash babble is just plain funny. Gnomes are just plain too short to use King's Defender or some other sword several times their size however their "Escape Artist" ability would be useful in BGs. Can't remember the last Night Elf warrior that walked by.
My personal preference for another warrior would be ..
1. Dranei
2. Human
3. Dwarf
5. Night Elf
6. Gnome
If you want to compare them,

Humans have the rep 10% increase, which is nice, and also the +5 Expertise on Swords and Maces, which is also very nice.
Night Elves get a 1% to dodge.
Dwarves get stoneform that increases armor by 10% for 8 seconds.
Gnomes... meh, gnomes. Their racials really don't benefit warriors much.
Draenei get a HoT and 1% to hit.

It depends what you plan to be mostly doing.
1% dodge from the nelves is good for a tank and 1% hit from the draenei is nice in PvE for tanking and dpsing. Shadowmeld is alright (though not the sort of thing you'll necessarily miss if you don't have it), gift of the naaru is pretty awesome for levelling but realistically has fairly limited usage at endgame (certainly in PvE). Stoneform is extremely situational, it'll probably save your life at least once when tanking but on majority you likely won't give it a second thought. Escape artist has fairly limited PvE potential but is wonderful for PvP. The human mace and sword expertise is alright; not as good as 1% dodge or 1% hit but is still a nice enough bonus to have. The 10% rep bonus is a godsend no matter what your class, though.
Tl;dr pick a human if the idea of having to grind 10% less rep makes you happy but if you're really dedicated to being the best possible warrior weigh up 1% hit and 1% dodge for PvE or pick a gnum if you plan to be a PvPer.
I personally went for human </lazy> :p

The expertise for humans (with some weapons anyway) is nice too, so they're about as good as nelf and draenei even for the min-maxer.
Anyway, the choice seems a little more free for an alliance warrior if he intends to tank, compared to a horde warrior (where anything but tauren is gimped). If I had to convert my undead warrior to an alliance race, I would probably pick human. That's what he used to be anyway ^.^

Always check the stickies for information, too. In the end, pick something suitable for the "long haul."

I dont care about the whole make this toon because their racial is better than this.
I'm in midst of creating a GNOME tank. Yes I dont have Stoneform anything like that. But who cares? I'm making my tank the way I want. If I'm sitting on a good group then hell who cares? They arent playing my toon I am. In the end what I say goes.
