Races
Generally I would recommend Mechagnome or Pandaren if you are looking to do the highest damage possible going into Midnight and in raid. For m+, I would recommend Dwarf or Night Elf.
Dwarves are strong because they have access to an ability called Stoneform, one of the most useful utility abilities in M+, which removes all harmful Poison, Disease, Curse, Magic, and Bleed effects and reduces all physical damage taken by 10% for 8 seconds. Night Elves have access to Shadowmeld, which allows you to skip many mechanics and abilities in Mythic dungeons.
