There are a couple of places now showing new info and interviews about WotLK, including tentonhammer.com but I'm liking the info shown at http://au.pc.ign.com/articles/872/872841p1.html so far. Of note is the following confirmation about DK's
If you have a level 55 character, which you likely do if you're still playing the game at this point, you can head to the character creation screen and generate one Death Knight, limited to one per server. Once created, you begin your time with him in an all-new starting area at level 55, which includes story bits explaining why and how you broke away from Arthas.
I find this funny, but really hate the idea of Un'Goro v2.0 and Nessing v3.0
Then there's Sholazar Basin, an area Blizzard described as being a sister zone to Un'Goro Crater. It's a tropical zone with lighter skies than Un'Goro's heavy green mist, circular in shape, and features jutting stone structures dotted with crystals. Populating the zone are the wolvar, wolverine people, and the oracles, an evolved type of murloc, who function as opposing factions. You can quest for both sides for reputation gains, and it'll be easy and expected for you to switch between the sides. Longtime World of Warcraft players will also recognize famed hunter Hemet Nesingwary, who's crashed his ship in this zone and is actually being opposed by an environment-friendly group called D.E.H.T.A. (Druids for the ethical and humane treatment of animals).
Heroic Mode raids for all
Blizzard has switched up how the raid progression works in Wrath of the Lich King. Now all raid dungeons can be attempted by either 10 or 25-man groups
Iin an included interview with Tigole, he says that raids are 10 man and the heroic versions will be 25 man
