Which is the best class for rogue in the alliance?

i think you mean "race"
i think most people prefer shadowmeld boost to the stealth from the NE racial but there are people who prefer the escape artist (gnome) or perception (human)
it's personal preference on gameplay style
Edit: why is this in the site feedback?

Actually, Dwarves are a better PvP race than Gnomes, imo. Stoneform lets you restealth against pretty much everything when combined with CloS at 66 and on. Very useful against warriors.
And I think Humans are tied with Gnomes. A free IWIN button against any other rogue/kitty is great, but so is an extra trinket. It's your preference.
You won't be given many opportunities to restealth in the arena without popping vanish. Stoneform is less appealing now that blind has been changed to a physical attack too. It's still a great racial, it's just not as good as an extra snare break. Perception is nice, but it's less practical than escape artist or stoneform. The extra expertise humans have when wielding swords and maces is nice though.

To be honest, the extra DPS given by the sword/mace racials aren't game breaking, nor do they increase your overall efficiency in PvP by much at all.
When it comes to min-maxing in PVE, an extra 5 expertise is extremely solid. No racials are game-breaking, but some are awfully effective. I consider one that grants 5 expertise to be effective, even in PVP (albeit to a lesser extent than some of its counterparts).
Rogues have plenty of snare breaks, and if you have to resort to using Escape Artist, there's something wrong
I completely disagree. Why would you not use escape artist as your first snare break if it's going to save either your improved sprint, vanish, trinket or cloak of shadows for later? An extra snare break is extremely welcome.
Stoneform, however, can give you an edge against a rogue that uses Rupture and/or Garrote as well as Druids and Warriors. Getting that Vanish off can, in fact, be more game breaking than Escape Artist. Sure, Blind isn't breakable via Stoneform anymore, but that's what trinkets are for. Perception is usually only good while getting the jump, true, but it's much more useful in arena than Escape Artist, when you usually have time to stealth and get the opener on your enemies.
I don't know what sort of teams you're playing against, but any team that lets an enemy rogue restealth unmolested is awful, even if that rogue has stoneform.
You can say that getting a vanish off can be more game breaking than escape artist, dually, I can turn around and say that breaking a snare and getting back in range without losing vanish can be more game breaking than getting a vanish off. What if you didn't even have vanish at your disposal because you used it to break a snare?
Escape artist grants a rogue additional mobility, the one thing that we're sorely lacking.

for Horde it is handsdown Undead or Bloodelf
they both have different racials that help
ORCS arent that good of rogues, i dont like em =/
Orcs have Bloodthirst... they destroy PvE damage meters. the same goes for Troll Rogues and their berserker rage. Blood Elf and Undead are more PvP excellent rogues.
