Orc traits in PVP... So lets see how this famous race is doing in PVP:

1. Blood Fury (activated ability)

Increases attack power by 6, but reduces healing effects by 50%. Last 15 seconds and scales with the level. As you can see, this is a very useful ability in PVP for all classes that use attack power. These are usually classes that use slow melee weapons for big white damage, like warriors, rogues and shamans. Also orcs are known to be the best horde rogues, so for a combat rogue this ability will be very useful.

2. Hardiness (passive)

25% resistance to stuns and knockout effects. As you can see, this ability is amazing. It will allow you to resist stun effects, which are one of the most used effects in wow pvp. Given that this gets stacked up with other stun resist effects from talents (like warrior's 15% resistance), an orc could become almost immune to stun effects.

3. Command (passive)

Pet melee damage increased by 5%. This trait is not that useful as the others, because it is specific to hunters and warlocks, but only with specific talents. It will be efficient in PVP only for Beast Master hunters and Demonology warlocks.

4. Axe Specialization (passive)

Critical strike chance with Axes is increased by 1%. Ofcourse, this is useful in pvp like all critical strike rating you can stack on. This will go very good for axe melee handlers, that is shamans and warriors, but especially for arms warriors because of their weapon specialization talents.

As you can see, orcs are very versatile for PVP, as all of their traits are useful in PVP, and also most of them are passive, which means you get them all the time at no cost. So If you want to go horde PVP, orcs are a serious option to consider, no matter what available class are you choosing.
