so far I made a "wowcopy" folder inside of my original "world of warcraft" folder I copied the Cache, Data, Interface, Logs, Realmlist.wtf, World of warcraft shortcut, WTF folder. all inside and made a script [...]
I think you accidentally ended up combining two different methods by both copying directories and using the symlink script. You need to choose one or the other, and not do both. It sounds like you did manage to solve your problem by reverting to the copy method, but if you want to go back to the symlink method, here's something you can try:

Fire up a Terminal session by executing the Terminal program in /Applications/Utilities. This gives you a command shell you can use to execute all the commands.

In that shell, assuming your original WoW is in "/Applications/World of Warcraft", type the following commands

mkdir /Applications/wowcopy
ln -s "/Applications/World of Warcraft/Data" /Applications/wowcopy/Data
ln -s "/Applications/World of Warcraft/Interface" /Applications/wowcopy/Interface
ditto -X "/Applications/World of Warcraft/World of Warcraft.app" "/Applications/wowcopy/World of Warcraft.app"

and you're done (i think i remembered everything). Oh, and be careful with the quotes because the shell needs them to know "World of Warcraft" is a direcory name and not the end of the first argument.

By the way, the realmlist.wtf step isn't needed any more because they moved the _real_ realmlist file somewhere else. The one in the base directory is just left over from earlier versions.

Once you've done those simple steps, you can just open finder and navigate to /Applications/wowcopy and execute the "World of Warcraft" there to get your second copy.
