How Tauren feels to level
Endurance adds a 5% health increase and War Stomp can create time for a heal, escape or dangerous cast interruption. Mulgore is spacious, so route planning and bag management save walking.
PvE
War Stomp offers group control but has a short cast time, so it must be planned rather than treated as an instant interrupt. Endurance is useful for every role without deciding the entire tank hierarchy.
PvP
War Stomp can set up a heal, cast or escape and can catch several opponents. Its cast time means movement, interrupts and diminishing returns still matter.
Does race choice decide your character?
No. Racials influence optimisation and create useful moments, but class knowledge, gear, professions, encounter preparation and whether you enjoy the character matter more for most players. Choose optimisation when you value it; choose identity when that keeps you playing.
