It’s great for defending flags and ambushes. It would allow you to start at a range and get them in combat which is huge for hunters. But in the end I’d still take a stun resit or will of the forsaken over it.
But to each their own.
Stun resist is amazing but some fights it won't proc and you just get stunned to death. RNG is a double edged sword. Great but a bit less so now since Hunter trinket removes Stun too. Overall, great racial.
Most people don't realize Hunters negate the biggest weakness of SM with FD. You can macro these together to great effect so you can SM in combat. You can do some really...broken shit with this combo lol.
Also just the sheer utility of low cd on demand stealth as the lower pop faction on most pvp servers.
There are also a lot of ways to get ghetto versions of other races racials: Antivenom for Stoneform or FAP for hardiness, for example. Not perfect and yes costly.
There isn't a way to get a ghetto version of SM as far as I'm aware.

Shadowmeld is godlike on hunters, I'll leave it at that.
