Even though Goblins have been hanging out in Booty Bay for years, they're about to join the Horde. They are basically the equivalent to Gnomes since they are considered extremely intelligent. We got a taste of this early on in the Engineering profession when you were able to choose either Gnomish or Goblin Engineering.
When Cataclysm is released on December 7th we are going to see a whole new side of the Goblin race. While some Horde players have acknowledged their displeasure in gaining this particular race, other gamers are extremely excited with what the Goblins will have to offer. Unfortunately you won't be able to enjoy every class, but here is the list of what's available:

The most intriguing option here has to be the Shaman class, but everyone will have their own preferences. Whatever class you choose, the Goblins still have their own "racial" abilities that can be extremely beneficial.
New Racial Abilities
We all want to know what type of benefits we get when creating a Goblin toon. Each one of the options below will help you decide the other components of your character as well.
Best Deals Anywhere- This passive ability will be a huge bonus for anyone who doesn't like wasting their hard earned gold. The crazy part about this particular ability is being able to always get a discount from vendors. In fact, it won't even matter what faction it is, because Goblins are going to enjoy this anywhere.
Better Living through Chemistry- We all know Goblins are scientists and engineers, so it's no surprise that this ability is going to help with one of your professions. It's the Alchemists who will enjoy a nice increase by 15.
Pack Hobgoblin- This is by far one of the coolest additions to the Cataclysm expansion. No matter where you are or what you are doing there will be an opportunity to visit the back. This ability calls a servant to give you access. However, it only lasts for 1 minute and has a half hour CD.
Rocket Barrage and Rocket Jump- If you enjoy gadgets then you will love these two options. They work hand in hand and both have 2 minute CDs. The amount of DPS you do with these will depend on your level, as well as the level of your opponent.
Time is Money- If you still play with the sound on you always here Goblins saying; "Time is money; friend." Well, in this case it's a little help towards casting faster and attacking quicker. It's nothing big, but there will be some occasions when 1% will make the difference.
Always Consider the Stats
One thing most gamers overlook is the initial statistics that a race will have with a faction. Taking the time to look over these and compare, the first thought is Goblins will make great Tanks. Outside of the Death Knights they have the highest Stamina (22) and Strength (20). Plus the rest of the stats are pretty similar to the rest, except for Spirit (lowest at 18).
Whatever you choose, just have some of fun. We're all anticipating a huge gathering in Kezan (starting area) when the flood gates open on December 7th. Keep an eye out, because there could be other additions to the Goblin class before its all said and done.
