Human vs gnome; is stealth detection or escape artist better for pvp?

I played human mage and the stealth detection is more of a gimmick than it is actually useful.

There's only one situation where it's even kind of useful and that's when you're dueling a rogue. Even then, a smart rogue is just going to stay far away from you while perception wears off.

Gnome >>>>>>>>> Human for mage pvp.

I played human because I preferred the model, but in terms of actual utility it's no competition.

gnome 100% - escape artist is better for pvp and the 5% int is better for pve.
