It sounds REALLY cool on the surface. Let me repeat that....ON THE SURFACE.
Flying mounts in Azeroth will be the bane of game depth just like they were in other areas. World PVP has become "Let me gank you and then you will hide where you can mount up before I nuke you down again." In area's other than WG anyway. While WG was fun, it didn't have the sense of unpredictable attacks that only come with a limited movement speed and a "smaller" world environment. Just look at the world PVP video's that came out pre BC compared to the pvp video's a search comes up with now.
Now as for the new content and massive storyline rewrites, they might be REALLY cool. WoW has solid storyline, and used to have solid characters. Northrend was really a step up from BC, and I fully expect the new expansion to be a step up during the first time or two that you play through the new zones. However NOTHING will be a suprise, I mean just look at the loot lists you can find for Onyxia...and the xpac hasn't even hit PTR yet.
The lack of RPG in WoW is what pretty much soured the experience for me. Hopefully this xpac will be a continuation of the very fine Action game that WoW has become, but it won't have much to offer other than the "bigger numbers and larger health pool" formula that has been status quo for the last 3 years.
New races are always fun, but I don't think there is going to be any lasting depth added to the game, nor do I think that adding flying mounts will add to the "epic" feel of the land. I've always argued that removing the ability to fly and making more use of teleporters (like the old mage tower in Azshara) would make the game feel more exciting and difficult. Sadly, that's not what the majority of WoW players want these days.
It's all about DAH GAYMZ!

Is it wrong to say I am unexcited about the entire thing. While I am an uber lore fan, and this is the biggest progression is lore in quite a while, the changes they are making feel more like World of Warcraft V2, instead of just a continuation. If they wanted to make a brand new game, which is basically what the are doing, make it with a dfferent game. Some thoughts are Starcraft Universe, or even better FINISH THE FREAKIN DIABLO 3 ALREADY.
