I was probably the one calling Demon Hunters Nightelven only class.
Here is why:
The tradition of the demon hunter arises from night elf history, and almost all demon hunters are night elves. A few blood elves make the pledge as well, seeking revenge for the destruction of their home. Other races can become demon hunters, but such individuals are unheard of. Any member of another race who is willing to make the sacrifices necessary to join the fight against the demonic invaders must find a night elf or blood elf demon hunter to assist him in the initiation ceremonies.
From
wowwiki
.
The Demon Hunters of the Black Temple are probably trained by Illidan himself, since he was a Demon Hunter himself. He needed just to train one and that guy trained then the offers.
Why Bloodelves? They are Nightelves at origin - and probably the best ressource Illidan could get in Outland.
But I have no reason why a Demon Hunter shouldnt train any other races.
According to
wowwiki
again any race could become it:
Any race can become a demon hunter, though almost all demon hunters today are night elves, with a minority of blood elves.The tradition of demon hunters arises from night elf history, and almost all demon hunters are night elves. A few blood elves have made the pledge as well, seeking revenge for the destruction of their home.
Humans can be demon hunters, some of these demon hunters can be found guarding Mount Hyjal with the help of fellow night elf demon hunters.
Demon hunters in other races are rare, but some exist.
Now you just need an existing non evil Demon Hunter and a reason why he would train someone.

to Make Deathknights a little bit lore wise i say limit it to 2 races for each faction
Human : Arthas is the strongest deathknight "alive" at the moment
Dwarf : many dwarves have fallen in Northrend to the hands of the scourge
Orc: were technically the "First" deathknights
Undead: DEATHknights nuff said
Every race just doesnt work with Deathknight
Blood elves : a deathknight caused a genecide to them
Draenei : Squidgoats fight the legion not rlly the scourge
Gnome : oh god.....
Night elf: they lived no where near the Scourge and are nature lovers , Deathknights spit on nature!
Tauren : deathknights dont go moo but if they did AWESOMENESS
Troll:ehh....
We had this topic once. There are some mistakes in it. First of all Orcs were never Death Knights at all - those were their souls put into dead human paladins. The undead DK you could play is a Forsaken undead - you really think a Forsaken would be a Death Knight? A DK gets the Lich Kings admission to control some of his undead but the Forsaken are free. Why no Bloodelves? They are Highelves and like Sylvanas why shouldnt some of them not have been raised as a DK - lore wise they became Bloodelves after the annihilation of Quel'Thalas so you could be right. Why no Draenei? Simply put the soul of an Orc warlock into the body of a dead Vindicator. Gnomes are ridiculous, no contrariety of me... Nightelves and Tauren dont seem very likely. Troll are however very possible. Quel'Thalas was once Troll land. Some Forest Trolls were still alive then the Scourge attacked. They could have been risen as DKs too.
But this is all assuming we are still speaking about the traditional Death Knights. To put a soul into a body was practised many years ago by Gul'dan. Those Death Knights were simply Horde warriors. Enhanced human paladin bodies with souls of Gul'dans apprentices to give them powerful warlock abilities. They werent even controlled. These DKs had nothing much to do with the later created Scourge.
And that is what the new DKs are all about. They are raised dead adventurers. The theory is that the DK you can play with WotLK are former adventurers of Azeroth, means they died not long ago, somewhere around 1 year at max. And this is why all the races we can play now can become DKs. They died while questing in the Plaguelands, were raised from the dead and gained control over themselves back. Why besides the Forsaken now some DKs can regain their souls is not 100% clear but some quests in Ebon Hold and Northrend will explain that for sure.

... but Death Knights will not be the reason that (,IF) we don't get Necromancers.
I second that because I think so too.
The problem with Necromancers is that most of them become corrupted and they would be even more hated by the normal Azerothians than Death Knights or warlocks. Summoning demons from the Twisting Nether claiming to be able to control and transforming your right now killed opponent into a ghoul for a few moments are one thing, but raising your dead family as eternal servants is something complete else.
This and like you said they will be frost and shadow users - to much of them. They would be nice but I fear after WotLK they wont fit the WoW universe anymore.

Personally I´d like to see Dragon Knights (ff IX) Restricted to polearms. A ranged melee-damager, with the infamous jump ability. Mabye be able to summon dragon hatchlings. With their own Dragon/hatchling mount.
