Let's see how Night Elves are doing in PVP... The Kel'Dorei have a lot of advantages that make them unique to WoW, like increased agility and some useful traits:

1. Shadowmeld

A trait that can be activate when not moving and out of combat that will stealth the night elf for indefinite time. Of course, this trait is useful in PVP. However, the efficiency of Shadowmeld is about 50 points compared to the rogue 200+ (almost 300 with the right talents) is quite less. It is not efficient in encounters while the enemy "knows" you are there and looks for you, but it is efficient to escape chasers in world pvp. It is also often used by night elf hunters along with their cat pet's prowl ability to stay invisible for as much as they can and surprise the enemy.

2. Quickness

Dodge increased by 1%. This is a good all around ability and helps a bit in PVP too, without being a major criteria when choosing a race for your class.

3. Wisp Spirit

Increases movement speed when dead by 50% (25% more than normal ghost). It is quite useful in world PVP, in order to get faster back to your body, but completely useless in organized PVP.

4. Nature Resistance

Night elves have 10 more nature resistance. This can help a little against nature damage, but as the one above, it is not a very important one.

As you see, night elves don't really excel in PVP useful traits, however, there are other properties that makes them useful in PVP, like increased agility and such. Also, if you want to play druid on alliance side, which is a great class for PVP, this is your only way to go.
