Kinda depends how much time you're going to put into this char.
If you know you'll never do the epic or raid, then absolutely go with half elf. Nature's Defender will be the best weapon possible.
If you're going to raid, play whatever you want. The 2 handers out of ToV are better than the epic...and you'll probably have plenty of opportunity to get the fiery sword too.
Don't overlook CHA for starting stats, especially if you plan on soloing in tight spots where lull / calm / paci will be important.
