Maybe in patch 10.1 we can get a questline where we meet younger Drakthyr who want to train to fight as the mortal races, which unlocks all the non-hero classes for the race.
I’d also like a hide weapon option, so I can be a dragon clawing enemies.

EQ2 has something like that with their Aerakyn. While that race did look a lot more like Elves with scales and wings, the more expensive version of them also got an item that essentially let them use their wings for melee attacks. Basically a vanity weapon. It was neat. But yeh, being able to swipe with your claws would be cool too.
Anyway, the devs haven’t discounted letting them be other classes in the future. It’s just not happening now. They would need pruning as it, since a few of their racials tie directly into their class abilities, but it could be done. I would love a Dracthyr Mage, eventually. 
Whoa, whoa, Slow down there champ! Before we get to changes in 10.1, let us first master the art of correctly spelling Dracthyr.

patience . . . they will get more classes, we just have to wait.

Sure just enjoy them being mandatory to roll on a ton of classes 
Would be some cracked classes especially ones that scale well off mastery. also would mean that classes outside of DH will never suffer from fall in combat mechanics.
Mixed on it tbh I feel like the new specs are balanced around the racials. Maybe down the line?
As much as I advocate for sooner (aka, launch), I know this probably wouldn’t come into effect until 11.0. If we’re lucky, maybe halfway through in a patch (as weirdly jarring as that might be).
Knowing them it’ll be for “lore reasons” that Dracthyr have been exposed enough to the other races and thus adopted their ways unto their own, which would take time for them to do in the first place, thus next expac more likely.
Just a theory, anyway.
This is kind of where I’m at. Let’s see what happens with dracthyr first as a class and into live launch before we make some kind of hope for this. I think it’s okay Dracthyr are class / race restricted at the moment, and would advise we just be patient.

Dracthyr will be exclusive to one class and that class is the evoker and guess what else is exclusive class the demon hunters only exclusive to the two elves night and blood elves. So yeah no I won’t support for other class and I hope it remains that way for the foreseeable future.
