Wow will survive for a long time, but it makes sense to rewrite it and start over.
As I recall, EQ2 hurt the franchise significantly. Aside from the added cost, this would probably be a pretty dumb move on Blizzard's part. They really don't want to be the one that finally builds a "WoW killer"...

Also, Blizzard has already been "battlechesting" BC with the original for quite a while now. I don't think being 6 expansions deep will leave them very confused as to what to do. Mostly they'll be confused over which small country to buy to use as a tax shelter.
