Coincidentally I come from a WoW background as well and most of my time was spent role-playing a blood elf in a manner that revolved more around what made them distinct from humans rather than what made them similar to humans. So I can certainly understand where people are coming from when they're looking to go rather in-depth and embrace whatever cultural/physical differences exist between humans and their chosen playable race.
I just think it needs to be more well rounded and that some aspects don't require much attention at all. Most role-players don't describe in detail how their character empties their bowels - and for good reason. Some things are best left out of role-play altogether or just touched upon lightly rather than speculated over in excruciating detail.
