First, the Draenei racial is 1%. Second, the Human racial is 3 expertise, not 3%, no percentages involved.
Third, the Draenei racial is an aura. Everyone in the party gets it. The human racial is just a self-buff.
This means that if you roll Draenei, you will only ever have that 1% hit buff. If you roll Human, you will have the expertise and you might have the 1% hit buff.
Fourth, for the human racial, you need to use those specific weapons (swords and maces I believe). Axes (etc) won't give you the 3 bonus Expertise.
Now, with that said, here's my math:
1% hit for melee is 32.79 hit rating (someone correct me. I'm using wowwiki numbers), 26.23 hit rating for casters.
3 expertise is 24.6 expertise rating.
Epic gems for both Hit and Expertise give 20 rating.
Therefore, the Draenei racial is worth (32.79/20)=1.63 epic gems. The Human racial is worth (24.6/20)=1.23 epic gems
If you want to go about this in a different way:
You need 26 expertise as a DPS, which means your racial fulfills (3/26)=11% of the requirement
You need 8% hit rating as DPS, which means your racial fulfills (1/8)=12% of the requirement.

If you want to nit pick, draenei racial is a little better. 1% hit for the whole group means they can gem for something else. All in all it doesn't matter that much.

Ummm, said they were rolling a DK, starting zone is the same.
In the end, neither bonus is enough to really focus on during leveling and the 1% hit is ok in a group, though enough Draenei are around it usually isn't a huge issue in group selection.
The big issue is, which butt do you want to look at more? And which to you think makes your character look hotter?

The draenei racial is almost always usless because it doesn't stack.
The human racial is almost always a DPS boost (unless overcapped on Expertise Soft-cap).
