Ok I got a question about the racial benefits of priests. What is the "thing" with undead priests? I know it sounds noobish to ask because I know that the racials make up alot choices.
I see alot of undead priests just want to know is it just the racials compared to other races.

It was two-fold back in the day and I'd say a lot of it is leftover now. #1 you got wotf and #2 you got Devouring Plague.

That and UD just look good in dresses/robes.

Devouring Plague is also something all priests have now. =P Will of the Forsaken is all that's left. It's pretty much still the most useful Horde PVP racial.

Yeah, I think originally it was because of WotF and because of the Undead sense of coolness. Now, the troll racial is certainly better for PvE healing, but a lot of people still roll undead, I guess because it "feels right." There's something about an undead priest that really shatters everything you would normally expect. I actually named my undead priest Oxymoron.

And with the planned change to WotF currently on the PTR, we may see even that "advantage" for undead priests disappear.

Troll racial is arguable, I'd consider 6% mana every 2 minutes the most beneficial horde priest healer racial.
