I have two questions.
1. Will Alliance and Horde characters be able to go back to zones like Gilneas, Kezan, and Lost Isles?
2. What has Jaina Proudmoore been doing in Cata, they are adding stuff to Dustwallow?
1. The Ruins of Gilneas ( a phased post-invasion of Gilneas version of the Worgen starting zone) is available to anyone and is a questing zone for Horde players. Lost Isles and Kezan will not be accessible for anyone (except low-level Goblins).
2. I think Duswallow Marsh has not changed at all except for the new road directly from Theramore to the border with Southern Barrens. And Jaina is still in her tower at Theramore.

Kezan and Lost Isles sink when their volcanoes explode, thus destroying both islands, all during the goblin's starting quest chain, so, only low lvl goblins will see them.
as for Gilneas, worgen players start in a phased and instanced version of Gilneas (much the same way as DK's start in an instanced version of the plagelands) non-worgens will only see the gilneas after the forsaken win the war, aka only the ruins of the kingdom are left, as much of the region sinks due to tidal waves, and pretty much the only safe zone is the actual capital wich is under forsaken ocupation.
plus there's this new Battleground in wich alliance and horde players battle to controll each sector of gilneas (akin to Arathi Basin)
What has Jaina Proudmoore been doing in Cata, they are adding stuff to Dustwallow?
Dustwallow has changed a lot, there's new roads that conect dustwallow to south barrens and thousand needles, there's a new entry to theramoore, theres LOTS AND LOTS of dwarven steam tanks all over the nearby zones to theramoore, and rumors are abound that the horde village of brackenwall is taken by either the grimtotems or the twilight hammer.
the ogres of brackenwall retake their older home (wich was previously ocupied by the black dragons)
and no, for now jaina hasn't done anything major, do bear in mind that (as far as I know) the quests in dustwallow marsh haven't been implemented, and the game is still on it's earlier stages, I'm fairly sure she's gonna do something eventually, she's the most active sub-leader the alliance has.

can allaiance players do "the day that deathwing came" or the quest where you are a questgiver?
The day that Deathwing came is a neutral quest so yes, but the questgiver one is Horde-only.

Is there a topic where we can suggest some changes in wow which we consider to be an improvement? such as taxi to be like those mounts with vehicle action bar so we can dismount anywhere during flight and get parachutes, similar to Dalaran dismount system? my english is not very good I hope everyone understood.
I like that idea... can see people exploiting it for reaching hard-to-reach quest locations while leveling though. (before they get flying mounts that is)
If you want Blizzard employees to read your suggestions I'd suggest (lol) going to the official forums and posting there instead. (at the suggestions forum)

got a question about druid rotation.
right now, when I do mono tanking, I do :
taunt and faerie fire
mangle, 2/3 lacerate
then mangle is up again : I use it
and 2 more lacerates
the target has : mangle debuff + lacerate x 5
from now on, I do :
swipe as long lacerate stack is above 3 sec
lacerate to refresh it if required
mangle when up, faerie fire when up
demo roar but usually in raid something better is in place
my priorities are : mangle > faerie fire > swipe > lacerate
my mangle, lacerate keys are macros that add a !Maul so each time I do a
mangle or lacerate, a maul is automatically done too.
I would like to know what the raid mono-tanking rotation becomes.
I guess mangle + faerie fire
then 3 stacks of lacerate
perhaps 2 more faerie fire to put it to 3 stack
and then ? you mangle ? or pulverize + lacerate
insert a mangle then pulverize again ?
what's the rotation for maximum thread in cata ?
(maximum threat, not maximum dps, I'm only interested in the final
threat / second you get out of it)

is a bit too early to be thinking of rotations yet, as all they have to do is twink a number here, change a % there, move a point yonder and presto, your rotation is completely over.
just so you have an idea, the DK (the LEAST CHANGED class) has gone trough 8 diferent rotations for frost and unholy, now imagine how is it for druids.
for now, observe the changes, be in awe/dread as they implement new skills, change old ones, remove old ones, and twink the changes.
when stuff is more set in stone, then worry about rotations.

If ZG is no longer a raid in Cata, what happens to the goodies inside? (IE the mount and tome of polymorph turtle?) Are the bosses world bosses now? do the mounts drop elsewhere or can they no longer be gotten? and lastly, what about polymorph turtle? no longer obtainable or train/learned elsewhere?

The zone and its bosses are used in a new quest chain in the Northern Stranglethorn zone, but haven't seen any sign of the loot so far. I guess it's possible that you'll be able to get the mounts another way but don't be surprised if they pull a Zul'aman on it.

Inner Fire still does the same thing, although it gives a lot less armor. (probably because clothies have WAY more armor without buffs like that than on live) There is a new spell called Inner Will that you can use instead of Inner Fire though, which increases movespeed and reduces mana cost on instant casts. (probably good for movement fights)
There's a note on the imp. Inner Fire talent on beta saying they're remaking it... Probably going to either be changed to modify Inner Will as well somehow or become a different talent alltogether.

Are the new starting areas (goblin & worgen) done so that you can only see yourself or are they like they have all been so far?
So how exactly did the Dragonmaw rejoin the Horde? (By this I mean how it is shown in the game)
What happens to the Alliance offensive of Southern Barrens?
What's the story in Feralas after cataclysm?
Are there any Ring of Blood style quest chains in cata?
If you could compare BC, WotLK and Cata 5-mans, where 1 would be extremely easy and 10 would be extremely hard, what would they be?
What happens to Gilneas after the worgen starting chain?
Is Bilgewater harbor a capital or more like Theramore?
What are the new pet types for hunter besides foxes?
Are there any new boat and/or zeppelin routes?
And the last one, is Scourge still dominant in some zones/instances? (Like RFD, Scholo and Strat)

You can see other players but pashing is used heavily in those zones so you can only see people on the same phase as you.
So how exactly did the Dragonmaw rejoin the Horde? (By this I mean how it is shown in the game)
You kill their Warchief that is not willing to help the Horde and then, under the leadership of a new leader called Zaela, they join the Horde.
Are there any Ring of Blood style quest chains in cata?
The Crucible of Carnage at Twilight Highlands.
What happens to Gilneas after the worgen starting chain?
Mostly deserted, just a minor Forsaken presence at the northern border (at the now-destroyed Greymane Wall) and Worgen scattered around the forests of Gilneas. Most Gilnean populace left with the Night elves.
Is Bilgewater harbor a capital or more like Theramore?
Like Theramore.
What are the new pet types for hunter besides foxes?
new pets (not sure if they have their own families or are part of already existing ones) like mastiffs, seagulls, new crabs, monkeys.
And the last one, is Scourge still dominant in some zones/instances? (Like RFD, Scholo and Strat)
They are present in mostly in EPL, their presence at WPL was reduced greatly but they are still present.

You can see every other player like in the old zones.
So how exactly did the Dragonmaw rejoin the Horde? (By this I mean how it is shown in the game)
Long story short: You go to the Twilight Highlands by zepelin with Garrosh to negotiate an alliance with them, but things don't go quite as well as they were hoping for and to top it off it turns out they still serve Overlord Mor'ghor (the guy from the Nether Drake quests in TBC) and his Fel Orcs. Almost every Dragonmaw who isn't fel infused wants to get rid of him so after a series of quests (and 300 references) you manage to make them rebel against the Fel Orcs and finally kill Mor'ghor. After this they're officially allies with the Horde and set up a portal between Orgrimmar and Dragonmaw Port. (which the player can use!)
I don't think they *join* the Horde, but they become allies for now at least. A lot of the Dragonmaw still hate the Horde even after the alliance.
What happens to the Alliance offensive of Southern Barrens?
They've destroyed Camp Taurajo and built a big place that reminds me of the internment camps... Lots of orc prisoners there.
Not sure what you mean by what happens to them, but well... it basically means that both the Horde and the Alliance has quests there, and for once (in Cataclysm that is) the Horde feel like they're losing in this zone. Makes for some cool quests IMO. :-)
What's the story in Feralas after cataclysm?
There's a lot of story in that place... First thing you'll notice is that the place is full of refugees from Freewind Post in Thousand Needles which got destroyed by the flood and then attacked by Grimtotem.
The nightmare dragon Lethon turns out to be alive and the "uncorrupted" Ysondre helps you kill him in one quest.
Rok Orhan
has been retconned into a Mok Nathal and calls herself Orhan Ogreblade. She's gathered a bunch of Stonemaul Ogres and set up a camp with them and gives Dire Maul-related quests. The last quest in her chain reveals that Cho'gall is trying to recruit the Gordok ogres to join the Twilight's Hammer.
This is all Horde stuff by the way, not sure what happens for the allies.
Are there any Ring of Blood style quest chains in cata?
Two. One in Gadgetzan for ~45 and one in Twilight Highlands for 84.
If you could compare BC, WotLK and Cata 5-mans, where 1 would be extremely easy and 10 would be extremely hard, what would they be?
Haven't done enough instances to say for sure... they're far more challenging than the WotLK ones but the biggest challenge for me is to keep the groups together. :-P Lots of DCs and bugs kicking people out. I love that CC is needed though... The difficulty reminds me a bit of how it was in the early TBC heroics.
What happens to Gilneas after the worgen starting chain?
They evacuate the warzone Gilneas has become by jumping onto a ship to Darnassus. Crowley stays in Darnassus (he's the first Worgen to "team up" with the Night Elves in the quest area) while Genn joins up with Varian in the Stormwind throne room.
Is Bilgewater harbor a capital or more like Theramore?
The latter. You could probably compare it to Booty Bay. (it's a goblin business port rather than a place where people live... although people do live in Booty Bay :-P)
What are the new pet types for hunter besides foxes?
Mastiffs, monkeys (small monkeys with tails, not gorillas) and new skins for old pet families. (spiky crabs, seagulls, non-cobra serpents (like big versions of the pet snakes) etc)
Are there any new boat and/or zeppelin routes?
None that I've noticed.
And the last one, is Scourge still dominant in some zones/instances? (Like RFD, Scholo and Strat)
Nope. Haven't done the entire EPL zone but the Scourge doesn't seem to have a very big presence in any of them any more, other than a few "rogue" scourge agents like Gandling and Araj rallying the undead in WPL for instance. There's also Balnazzar's risen Scarlet Crusade in EPL.
