Best race for Paladin in WoW Forever
Human, Dwarf and, for the first time, Undead. Forsaken Paladins start in Bandarion Keep and get their own epic mount quest at 60.
PvE pick
Human
Ruthless gives 1% crit to spells and attacks and The Human Spirit gives 10% Spirit for Holy mana regeneration. Perception helps against stealth in dungeons.
PvP pick
Undead
Will of the Forsaken plus bubble makes a Forsaken Paladin very hard to control, and Touch of the Grave adds drain on every attack.

Stoneform removes bleeds and poisons on a 3-minute cooldown and Big Game Hunter adds 5% damage to beasts, the most common kill-quest target.
