additionally, getting hungering cold is easy on retro. combined with talents, any race can reach the softcap for weapon skill. note, this doesn't make the human racial obsolete (human with thunderfury is more dps than non-human with hungering cold).
that said, bugged blood fury + accessibility of hungering cold make orc the best race.
after the core merge, i don't think orc will remain the best rogue race. it will be either human or troll, depending on whether the new core's weapon skill formula soft caps at 315 or 310.
300 weapon skill: glancing blow = 64.1% dmg
305 weapon skill: glancing blow = 85% dmg
311 weapon skill: glancing blow = 94% dmg
315 weapon skill: glancing blow = 100% dmg
