So far most people think its a fake.
I am not sure. The level of detail is impressive, especially the individual examples of Blood-Elf skills for instance.
My main reason for doubting the article is bacause of the sheer amount of Raids that would be added... So far Blizzard has released Raid content incementally though the content updates/patches.
Thats a good model, it keeps a consistant level of 'freshness', so I find it hard to believe that Blizzard would add so much content at the same time.
And when it comes to the body text of some of that post, I think its suppose to be copy-paste from Blizzard Blizzcon source material itself, bit the english grammar is just plain bad. Not at all the level that Blizzard usually maintains. Of course the poster did not specify that its a copy-paste, he may just be summorizing the text he has. But its inconsistant across the post anyway.
Also.. one cannot but help notice that a lot of the Raid info could be guessed or has been disclosed in some form or another aleady.
Something else that strikes me, is that with 100-man raids, and so many other 40+ raid instances about, there should really be some kinda of attention payed to how Raid groups are formed. At the moment, at least as far as I have seen on EU servers, its still quite rare to get a raid group together and defeat, for instance, Nefarian.
So how do they expect all these people to be able to engange in all these high-level raids that require such massive organisation? Its hard enough currently. By adding so many high-level instances, would would have to shift the culture of an entire server, and how group-forming is organised. I just cant see it work, looking at the current situation.
Anyway.. interesting to speculate about.
