I prefer dwarves for metal over earth. classic RPG and fantasy depictions have them in the earth a lot, but they're always looking for metal. Some more fairy-tale dwarves fit earth well though.

In that other game, warforged would be metal, gnomes could be earth.

But I do like humans in the earth slot, with dwarves in metal. Humans don't get associated with elements enough.
