Remember that a DFRPG player who hasn't played GURPS isn't going to be expecting his HT to be 30 points for 14, that's a GURPS thing.

The only mechanical difference between racial and professional templates in DFRPG is how the racial disads don't count towards your disad limit. Otherwise your racial template is treated exactly like your professional template, meaning you don't write its traits separately and you don't hide the point costs of its traits in a package.

With the general removal of shapeshifting, except "shapeshift Druid to small harmless animal who does not get the Druids personal modifiers", there's no purpose to complicating how the racial traits are written down.
