It's really a tough call. I picked Blood Elf for stupid reasons:
I dig the forum avatars.
Mana Tap is godly if used correctly.
I wanted to level to 20 somewhere that I have never leveled before.
WotF is really the driving factor for going Undead. Devouring Plague is nice, but so is a spell that restores your mana. The mana you get from consuming one of your buffs could be used to heal you up after a fear.
I'd say log into the game on another character and /roll. If the number is greater than 49 go Undead, otherwise, go Blood Elf.

Devouring Plague isn't as useful as it seems because it costs tons of mana to use. The only moments I find myself using it on my shadow priest is when I'm almost dead and chasing a solo player down in a battleground or world PvP. VE + VT + Pain + DP is a solid health regeneration for you and your party and a nice DoT selection to toss on someone. Most of the time I expend my Inner Focus charge for a DP because I'd rather use the high mana cost for something more important.

I have never played an UD priest so i can't speak for them but I have a BE and the racial is a lifesaver. I always mana tap and when im running low or need to silence i just use my racial to silence then and get extra mana. I never complain with that. :)
If you time your mana taps right your downtime is pretty low compared to other mana classes as well so to me its an added bonus.

Gotta say Undead or Troll personally
Undead have WotF which is SICK in combination with the PvP trinket and the upcoming change to Fear Ward. Devouring Plage is good too, regardless of mana cost, at 70 you should have Inner Focus from the Disc tree anyway, both are on 3 minute cooldowns. Also, Cannibalize. Instead of shifting out to heal after a fight you can just eat your opponent =D
Trolls have become good recently though, my cousin's SPriest is a troll and his Shadow Ward hits pretty hard, and of course has a chance to proc Blackout. And Hex of Weakness is like a weak MS you can cast from a distance, very good for arenas IMO. Plus they have BITCHIN' Raptor mounts.
I wouldn't roll a Blood Elf. Arcane Torrent require you to be right next to a target in order to silence them. In PvP the only people that are gonna be up in your face are going to be melee classes, silencing them is a huge waste of time. And that buff eating ability? give me a break, I don't know exactly how it works but from my understanding, buffs are better when they're ON you. You could end up eating Fort, or something else essential just for some mana back.
Undead or Troll without a doubt

Undead or Troll without a doubt You're forgetting the OTHER use for Arcane Torrent, the huge mana gain should you know how to actually manage your Mana Taps. And, if you use Consume Magic (Eat a Priest buff for large sum of mana) tell me, what's more important: 700 more MAX health, or enough mana to cast another Greater Heal and possibly prevent a wipe? You cast it because you need to, when you're low on mana and your potions and whatnot are down on cooldown. Another "Oh ****!" button to give you one last cast to save your ass.
