This just isn't true, lol.
First, there's no real AC difference. AGI may change the amount of AC displayed, but it's negligible, and ogres are not going to be top AGI. Second, iksar will get a displayed AC bonus, but once again, it's also negligible.
Next, HP while leveling might be slightly higher, but at level 60, all warriors cap STA at 255 and wear the same gear, so stats are... say it with me now... negligible. The only exception is CHA.
At the end of the day, picking a race based on stats alone may make the game easier to start, but it will not matter by the time you're raiding. STR may make looting easier when you're collecting crushbone belts, but you will pretty much be capped on any melee character while grouped or raiding when you're 50+.
So there's really 3 things to consider:
1) Do you want to take advantage of stats/racials to make leveling easier? If so, pick troll, ogre, iksar.
2) Do you want to have access to skills that warriors otherwise would not have like sneak or castable haste? Pick halfling for sneak+hide, gnome for haste, dark elf for hide (lol), wood elf for wtforage.
3) Do you want to look a certain way? Being a large race sucks in a lot of places, so a cobalt bracer would be necessary. Having access to a guise helps offset the size problem, too, but they will not be readily available on every server.
There's no fault to picking any specific path, tho. they've all got their perks. Don't take shit from anybody else.
At the end of the day, the only person you have to answer to for your decision is yourself.
