Both are good but since I don't play a warrior Ill tell you what DK's can do:
- They need less pve gear - Basically dks don't scale nearly as good with pve gear as warriors do, so you'll ideally need a pve weapon and neck/cloak/ring items because the pvp ones give you AP instead of Str. Well you'll need a trinket too of course :D.
- They have no real counters in 1vs1 - The only thing that will kick your *** is a good ret but you still have a chance if you're good.
- Casters are easy to kill. You have a lot of anti-magic tools.
- Great healing - You'r heals are op.
- Great pressure - Dots, pet and you'r strikes deal great pressure. Sort of like affli lock.
The bads:
- Mortal strike - Dks have no heal reduction, so it's a bit harder to kill healers.
- Not as great burst - You will rarely see big crits from a dk. The only thing capable of some sort of a high crit is DC, which deals around 6-7k crit, but eng rocket helps with that. Gargoyle deals around 3k per cast, but it can be feared by paladins and shackled by priests. Also LoS makes it stop casting and fly like a ret ard.

Basically if you want to destroy people fast - warr. With a healer you'll be very hard to kill and the pressure will be huge.
If you want to outlast your enemies - dk. Theyre very strong on their own, but you wont see fun crits :D.

As for the race, orc is the best race for warr. For dk orc is not bad at all, but I think belf is better.

Warrior of you want to kill healers fast.
DK if you want to run around them for 30min.

Let's take a look at the other speccs for those classes!
Warrior:
Fury: Even more gear dependant than Arms. At current item lvl on Lordaeron you can maybe blow up some clothies.
Prot: Gets the highest crits of any Warrior specc. A mix of T7 and T8 allows to reach the BV cap. The current BV bug really hurts your damage though.

DK:
Blood: Can have crazy survivability with high resi and stamina. If you go an offensive build with Arp you may crit higher than an Arms Warrior. Needs PvE gear to deal damage. Dispells **** you up.
Frost: Can go full PvP gear and still crit higher than a Warrior with Frost Strike.
If you get some Arp your Obliterate crits
even higher.
At current item level on Lordaeron Frost is very strong. Frost Strike deals crazy damage, you can get 2 guaranteed crits in a row and need no Arp. Dispells are mean to you.

Orc racials : The expertise Bonus, AP boost and stun reduction are good for both classes.
The pet damage is good for UhDk and useless for Warriors.
