I am glad they recognized that Dark Elves and Empire *really* needed a tank first. I would take my Black Orc to "elfland" and be immediately asked to group for PQs and Hero mobs because they had no effective tank.

Melee DPS for Greenskins and Dwarves is important too, of course, but Black Orcs and Ironbreakers can spec and equip themselves to be a reasonable substitute; obviously not as good as the Witch Elf or Shadow Warrior but still quite effective.

I know it was not in the cards but I was really hoping for the Slayer (Dwarf Melee DPS) class. There are Slayer NPCs in the game so I never really understood why not PCs? I guess the fact that a long-surviving Slayer is actually a failure has something to do with it. . .
