This is true…I think Dracthyr should just have Soar work just like a dragon riding mount. They did it for worgen/running wild.
Yeah, honestly the fact that it doesn’t is what makes me think that the mount reward structure is the biggest issue. I think they left Soar worthless the entire expansion (only to be mostly fixed in 10.2.5) because so much stuff rewarded drake manuscripts and they didn’t want a whole class/race just ignoring part of the incentive for content.

I could see the buff Forest/Frost trolls being an AR in Midnight and/or TLT. The Amani and remenants of the Drakkari would no doubt at least make an appearance as we return to Quel’thalas and Northrend.
I would also love to finally get Vrykul when we return to Northrend.
Ogres are totally still possible. The only thing holding them up is that Blizzard can’t seem to come up with a female design they like. The two heads wouldn’t be an issue since we can already transmog our shoulders separately. You’d only get to equip a single head piece for balancing concerns but be able to transmog different head pieces purely for cosmetics.
I’d also like to see Taunka or Yaungol, but I’d rather they just be a customization option on regular Tauren instead of taking up a new race slot.

I don’t see vrykul coming at all. Only because of the height. They are massive. They would have to shrink em, and it would look so bad.
Would be cool to see more support in here:
I could definitely see the Drakonid joining the factions at the conclusion of Dragon Flight. There was, after all, a dragonkin rebellion based around not wanting to give up their autonomy tonthe sudden return of the aspects.
Over the course of the quest we bring the rebels to heel, and its implied that they’ll fall in line after some concessions are made by Alexstraza. Maybe these former rebels leave the isles to find their own place in the world.
Actually it’s even better: the concession is that any dragonkin who choose to return to service to the Flight can do so, but all of them are granted freedom to do whatever they want. It’s a very obvious segue into neutral playable drakonid going out into the world to have adventures - now it just remains to be seen whether Blizzard will pick up that thread or just leave it hanging.

Funny enough, they can make sense in War Within if the troll slaves from Kezan ventured further into the Undermine. The abyss to a goblin mine must be immeasurable. 
We might not get the same gimmick. Probably the Tinker class as Mimiron would have to be involved for that expansion. Just my two bolts which expansion will get the new class. 
High Elves are a given for Midnight due to the Elven tribe focus. Only High Elves and San’layn are unplayable. We might even get both.
Forest Trolls could work as well, as they’re tied to Elven lore over there quite a bit… And Trolls do need a heritage story.
Though a fairly minor race, I do love Saberon.
Rajani for another cat like race but they have the centaur problem. I rather liked that ancient Egyptian vibe of theirs.
If they do add in more races, will ones that dont have a 2nd option be considered?
Elves? we got 4 variants 2 on horde 2 on alliance
Trolls - 2
Cows - 2
Dwarf - 2
Gnome - 2
Human - 2
Dranei -2
Orc -2
Maybe some variation on the singular species races: Worgen and Vulpera.
Not 100% sure how. AFAIK theres no other version of worgen or vulpera out there.
dual faction races - same with these theres no other versions i know of out there.
Panda- 1
DH - 1
Drac - 1
** forgot Forsaken… guess they could be a version of humans?
