Is there a big difference between ally races for war tank? I want to go nelf war tank. Am I gimping myself by doing that?
Play what you like looking at if we are being honest.
NE is good for Meld, but you can potentially Meld in a bad spot, then you are just waiting for death.
Gnome has escape artist. It is useful to break a root or snare to get away… but you will be a gnome.
If you want to get to 60 and raid tank, then human is by far the best race. Pre 60, it doesn’t matter as much, NE is fine.
Humans get a dps increase, by having sword specialization. Usually people love this for endgame when they can juice the meter a bit.
Gnomes get escape artist and dwarves get that ability that turns their skin to stone, escape artist lets you free from traps, while the dwarf one will drop poisons. Both are pretty good for helping you survive on a class that doesn’t have that many survival options.
Night elf has increased dodge, so you are less likely to be hit in the first place. This is minor but when hardcore that possibility of not being hit can really help out. Shadowmeld can’t be used in combat in classic, but if you are in a cave and see a patrol coming shadowmeld may end up saving you.

General wisdom holds humans are best with their +5 sword skill. That allows human warriors to be “hit capped” while using swords against level 63 NPCs (bosses) without having to get other items to increase weapon skill.
massively, yes
Gnomes, they are gross and ugly so everything wants to kill them. Best threat generation in the game.
