We've never seen an Easterner re-incarnated as anything but we
have seen Dragaerans re-incarned as both Dragaerans and Easterners
(OK, one Easterner -- but given the small number of reincarnations
we know of, one is not a disproportionately small number). And
we've never seen an Easterner reincarnated as a Dragaeran.
>From the above, I'd assume that karma on Dragaera works like this:
You're re-incarnated repeatedly as a Dragaeran, accumulating good or
bad karma along the way. Eventually you get good enough to be promoted
to Easterner, and never have to be a Dragaeran again.
