Bit of a yikes™ there my dude.
Abominations aren’t just big people, it’s more like a mish mash of bits from here, there, your cousin and so on.

I’m not sure that’s necessarily true. Lack of evidence for ‘regular’ undead worgen doesn’t necessarily prove it one way or another. Unless I’m missing some piece of (obscure) lore. Which is more than likely. Not exactly a worgen expert.
They can’t be raised to regular Forsaken at least, as seen in the Silverpine quests when the Hillsbrad refugees drink the blood of Crowley to become Worgen to prevent them from being killed and raised by a Valkyr.

But that could also imply they’re becoming worgen to stand a fighting chance against the Forsaken, so they aren’t slain AND THEN raised by the valkyr. Since they’re stranded refugees cut off from support, the alternative is to be a die trying as a regular old human. Or is it specifically stated that if they become worgen, they can’t be raised, period? You understand what I’m trying to figure out?
In that quest, in their dialogue it is started they rather die than become worgen.
Edit: So yeah, they drank the Blood to fight bk and to prevent being risen should they die.
This is how the dialogue goes
Lord Darius Crowley says : The Forsaken have broken through your defenses, magistrate.
Lord Darius Crowley says : You are out of time.
Lord Darius Crowley says : A decision must be made!
Lord Darius Crowley says : Die in battle and be raised as a servant of the Forsaken or…
Lord Darius Crowley says : Drink in my blood and reborn as worgen, immune to the depravity of the Forsaken.
Lord Darius Crowley says : Help us destroy the Forsaken and retake Lordaeron for the Alliance!
Magistrate Henry Maleb says : We would rather die than be turned into worgen, but seeing as how even death provides no relief from the atrocities of this war…
Magistrate Henry Maleb says : We choose vengeance!

Adding onto what others have already said, Sylvanas’ val’kyr ((back then before it got retconned)) could only raise humans. Which is why the 7th Legion sent regiments of non-human soldiers to aid the Gilnean Liberation Front in the fighting around the Greymane Wall and Pyrewood.

Our enemies are becoming smarter - adapting to our tactics. Recently an attack was made upon Pyrewood Village southwest of here. Our troops occupying the town were decimated, of course, but what made the attack especially interesting was the racial composition of the attacking force. No humans were used.
Walden laughs.
Rightfully, they fear being reanimated as Forsaken.
Let us teach the non-humans a lesson in fear. Together we will show them what happens to corpses that we cannot use.
But in regards to worgen, not only are worgen by themselves highly resistant to being raised as undead due to the nature of their curse, worgen that have undergone the rite of balance are even more resistant, as per Ask the CDevs round 2.
Not only are the Val’kyr less powerful than the Lich King when it comes to raising the undead, but the worgen curse also makes raising them into undeath far more difficult than it is for normal humans. The worgen curse has roots in both the Emerald Dream (through the wolf Ancient, Goldrinn) and the holy power of the goddess Elune. In addition, those worgen who imbibe the waters of Tal’doren—through the ritual they undergo to maintain balance between the worgen curse and their humanity—have a further resistance to the corruption of undeath.

Yepp, essentially raising worgen as a dk works, but it is very hard, raising worgen as undead is kinda impossible.
It pretty much took the Lich King himself, which is why it’s iffy to RP a worgen DK that is not one of the original “Third Generation” from Acherus.
