Worgen Racials in Cataclysm Classic
Aberration: Increases your resistance to harmful Nature and Shadow effects.
Darkflight: Activates your true form, increasing current movement speed by an additional 40% for 10 sec.
Enable Worgen Altered Form: Enables Worgens to switch between human and Worgan forms.
Flayer: Skinning skill increased by 15 and allows you to skin faster.
Running Wild: Drop to all fours to run as fast as a wild animal.
Two Forms: Turn into your currently inactive form.
Viciousness: Increases critical strike chance by 1%.
Death Knight
Worgen are one of the stronger choices for Death Knights on the Alliance side. Viciousness gives a flat 1% Critical Strike Chance, which is a quite powerful passive. Darkflight is extremely good, as it gives Death Knights a mobility option to rapidly move away from danger.
Druid
Worgen is the strongest choice for every Druid spec on the Alliance side. Viciousness gives a flat 1% Critical Strike Chance, which is a powerful passive. Darkflight is a strong spell to provide yourself with additional mobility.
Hunter
Worgen are considered the best race for Alliance Hunters going forward into Cataclysm as they have a 1% passive Critical Strike racial: Viciousness. The other major advantage to the Worgen race is the racial Darkflight. This movement speed bonus is highly useful in both PvE and PvP as many encounters in Cataclysm require a lot of movement.
Mage
In PVE content, you'll want to be a Worgen because of both the Critical Strike Chance increase as well as the on-demand movement it provides, which can help out of a bad situation.
Priest
Worgen is one of the stronger choices for Priests on the Alliance side. Viciousness gives a flat 1% Critical Strike Chance, which is a quite powerful passive. Darkflight is extremely good, as Priest's main weakness is its lack of mobility, which is solved by this racial.
Rogue
Worgen takes the cake for Alliance, bringing the only true and consistent form of DPS increase being 1% Critical Strike Chance granted by Viciousness. Critical Strike Chance is Rogue's least favorite stat, but when compared to the other options, it is the clear winner. Worgen also have a strong Sprint-like ability in Darkflight which can be used to help close distance on enemies and maintain uptime.
Warlock
Worgen offers a reliable damage boost in PvE.
