You need two directories of WoW. Copy and paste one and then run both .exes separately. That SHOULD do the trick.

I second the Ace2 framework mods. They are compact, well written and tend to be of higher quality than most mods. Most importantly, they have a small memory footprint and better (or "why didn't I think about that") kind of features.
