New Content
Cataclysm will be the first expansion not to introduce a new continent, instead making use of previously unreleased zones and revamping existing ones.
Classic Azeroth Revamp
A cataclysmic event caused by Deathwing and Azshara will change the face of Azeroth as we know it. Most of the new content for Cataclysm will take the form of a revamped Azeroth, taking advantage of newer additions to WoW such as phasing and daily quests. Most of the quests and mobs in the classic zones will also be redesigned to make leveling less painful. With the revamp, a greater narritive and sense progression will be offered to players. Some zones and dungeons will change drastically to fit this, e.g.,
* The Barrens will be split into two separate zones of two different level bands.
* Azshara will become a low level (~10-20) zone.
* Some of the zones like the Thousand Needles will be flooded.
* Durotar is wrecked and apparently Orgrimmar could be destroyed. A new Orc city is rebuilt over the course of the expansion.
* Gnomeregan will be part of the expansion as well and gnomes might be able to reclaim their capital. (The last part is still unconfirmed)
* Wailing Caverns will be become a lush tropical area as a result of the druid's magic.
* The Blackrock Spire will erupt and a new version of Blackrock Mountains will be available, apparently Ragnaros will be back too.
None of this is confirmed, expect that announcement to be made at Blizzcon this weekend.
ooooo it sounds cool I may start playing wow again as I seem to sit on my ass in the evenigs and I miss raiding with freinds. Whats on that yahoo link coz im blocked from it at work
Well its official

Some interesting stuff happening, especially the destruction of everything we've come to know and love over the last 4-5 years. I suppose they had to let us fly around Azeroth/Eastern Kingdom at some point
the destruction of Azeroth . . . . and everything considered customizable.
things reverted back to vanilla basics - stacking stats like Arp removed, paladins now stacking spirit, every healing class given a bubble, now even undead can be paladins . . . .
i cancelled my account (again) when i read the actual class mechanic changes, but im glad i finally did - Wrath has'nt had a single challenging mechanic, but comfortable in an End game guild blinded me to how simple it had become, ToC opened my eyes to this and Cataclysm pused me over the edge.
to those wishing to stay i do hope it has the element of fun you are looking for but for me, my overdue end has come!

I cancelled my account about 6 months ago, WOTLK was fun for a while, but the PVP element IMO was destroyed, and PVE gets boring after a while.
I will be buying the new expansion and playing it, I havent played in months but I sometimes have an urge to play it again.
