Wildhammer Dwarves have been shamans for a long time, but yes, Blizzard is going the weak way and saying the Ironforge Dwarves were trained by our friendly interstellar spacegoats.

Like Hell said.... All Racials are being Reworked for Cataclysm.

I wouldn't try to analyze things too much just yet. The fact is all racials will be reviewed in Cataclysm, and the changes to the Shaman class could also influence what racial they work best with.
Heroic Presence in particular is probably going to be changed. The benefits of the aura effect get wiped out by itemization, and Blizzard has taken a disliking to talents and abilities that increase hit.
Mace Specialization is another example. It wouldn't be difficult for mace specialization to provide some other benefit whenever a mace is equipped.
Likewise the dynamics of the Shaman class could change a lot between now and Cataclym's release, going back and forth between favoring one set of racials over the other.
Oh, and Blizzard hasn't officially released anything on Dwarf Shaman lore. The comment at BlizzCon was probably a half-joke, and in all likelihood Dwarf Shaman will be either be trained by Wildhammers or be Wildhammers themselves (their totems have Gryphon feathers, which indicate Wildhammer origin).

Notice that in Cataclysm shamans will get all their attack power from Agility, none from Strength.....so which alliance race gets added to the shaman list? The lowest agility, highest strength one! (not especially good Int, either)
Not an issue at higher levels where gear swamps racial stat adjustments, but you'll notice it, most likely, in the 'teens at least.
Having said that, once I get my hands on Cataclysm I'll probably make a dwarf shaman :)
All racial stats are being changed to be the same, except for Dwarf+Tauren who have +1 more point of stamina than the other races.

All of the early level gear is getting reitemized as well; so you'll probably see more agility stat based weapon and armour available earlier.

Both races are mediocre for Shamans. At least Dwarves are cool.

It was a cold day in Alterac valley, The gates on each Faction's side have just opened, The first of each team is a Dwarf paladin and a tauren shaman, They meet in the middle of AV and give eachother a Hard stare, The dwarf paladin in full Judgement, The tauren shaman in full Tenstorms. They faught to the death.
And it should stay that way
That would be awesome. Very awesome.
Now it's "lol ret paladin gtfo we don't want you in our AV lol."
Never mind I always get most damage done+killing blows.
Not trying to brag.

Sometimes, just sometimes:
cosmetics/animations > racials
I made a female tauren enhancement shaman for PvE. 5% base health increase, short ranged AoE stun... not exactly helpful at all, but she looks too damn funny/awesome in combat for that too matter to me.
