Are the mob packs in the new instances all so tough that they absolutely require CC, or are there some packs that can be AoE'd / killed like in WotLK?
Any signs or even references of Danath yet?
What kind of achievements there are?
What's the average gold dropped by regular monsters?
Are there yet any easter eggs/pop-culture references (like McGoyver is to MacGyver)?
What's the storyline in cataclysm-Azshara (zone)?
Do the night elves do any kind of counterattack against orcs in Ashenvale which actually succeeds?
What's the deal with the Barov brothers in Scholo?
Is Outland gear still better than the lvl55-58 gear from EK/Kalimdor?
I don't have the time to check out all these things right now but I'll try...
1) Nope, only Trollbane who's making a cameo so far is Galen.
2) Lots of placeholder ones but they follow the same style as WotLK so far for the most... explore this zone, complete all quests in that zone, kill all bosses in this dungeon...
3) Don't have a chance to check this out right now but most mobs don't drop any random loot at all in the new zones. I don't think they drop money at all.
4) Lots and lots of references, can't remember many of them right now though. Lady La La's Pendant is an example
5) It's a comedy relief zone if you ask me. It's brilliant though... hard to say the whole story since it's pretty crazy and "jumpy" but it starts out with night elves attacking the Azshara-Orgrimmar gate, and then there are some quests involving the Naga in the ruins in the middle of the zone who have retrieved an artifact called the Heart of Arkkoroc which they are using to enslave sea giants. There's also a flashback quest where you play a highborne mage.
Then after doing some more funny goblin quests you reach my favourite part of this zone: You find Kalec hanging out in the Bilgewater harbor. Apparently he's in the zone looking for Azuregos to protect him from the Twilight's Hammer and the black dragonflight, but Azuregos is nowhere to be found. You quickly learn that Azuregos has trouble meeting friends, and his only known friend is a murloc who's hanging out in a certain part of Azshara.
After questing for the murloc, he tells you that Azuregos had another friend: Archmage Xylem. This guy has moved to some camp in another part of the zone and after his quests he leads you to a portal... entering the portal basically kills you and sends you to the spirit realm which is where Azuregos has been all along, and apparently hooked up with the local spirit healer. Azuregos is pretty depressed and wants to stay with his new girlfriend but after successfully persuading him to go resurrect he helps you out in the final battle against the Twilight's Hammer in the area.
That's pretty much it. Wow. :-) I have a feeling this zone might have some more stuff coming to it though since Gallywix' Pleasure Palace (which might just be the most awesome thing ever) is empty and not used for anything right now.
6) Already answered by Phoenixphire.
7) Guess they put their differences aside for a while, or it's just purely for the convenience of having them both in the instance for the quests. Expect one of them to get released for each faction if that's the case.
8) Yeah, but not by as big a jump as before.
Sorry for the wall of text but you asked for it! >:-)

ok im like 5 pages in its 4:30 in the morning and im tired and bored so you can hate me if im repeating something for the last 15 or so pages. how much is master riding (the new skill that gives all mounts 310% speed) going to cost i know it was planed to be trainable at 85 (or 80 can't remember) cuz i want to know if i should plan save like all my quest reward money (i know that if you already have a 310% mount it will be free) or if i can just be like wht ever and send it all to my alts.

Shaman spell: Healing rain, is it finished, or is it supposed to look like a puddle?
Doubt the puddle is supposed to be as "thick" as it is now but yeah, I think it's supposed to make one. If there's no puddle it's easier to stand outside it by accident and since it costs a ton of mana to cast you don't want that to happen.
@themguyman: 5000 gold for the 310% one. Won't buy it myself until later on...

With the removal of the Path of the Titans mechanic, what will Archeology be used for now? I've done some digging around and I cant find anything on the subject.
It was always meant to be a secondary profession like fishing so no idea why they planned Path of Titans for it in the first place. :-S
Anyways, it's going to be used for getting lore, cosmetic items and so far it seems there'll be a mount and a non-combat pet too.

Another question: If it's been implimented, what does the Time Warp animation look like (for the caster and those it affects)?
Logged on to check and nope, it requires 85. (max level being 83 right now)

Sorry if this has already been asked. What happens when you die in the old(new) world somewhere you can't reach by walking. Say you accidentally dismount and die atop a cliff, do you get a spectral gryphon in all zones when dead? Do you get one only if you have flight training? Do only certain zones get ghost mounts?

The Abyssal Seahorse mount you get from Vashj'ir questing - Is it only summonable in Vashj'ir, or can you ride it anywhere there is water? I saw a video of someone using it in dragonblight, but another said that it could only be used in Vashj'ir.
You used to be able to use it everywhere but as of now it can only be used in Vashj'ir. :-/
@Blitzfire: As far as I know you only get the gryphon in the new zones, but I'll check it out just in case.
@ArabushSA: Looks like it got scrapped for an earlier Power Infusion... can't find it anywhere ingame either.

Pre-cata Tauren went to Crossroads when they finished Mulgore.Now Mulgore's locked,Southern Barrens is a high-level zone and the Tauren are kind of locked in there.
Wat do?
Zep to Orgrimmar perhaps?
I also heard of a pathway opening in Northern Mulgore to Stonetalon Mountains.

And right you are. You get sent to Garrosh after completing the Tauren area and from there you can go wherever you want, with the Northern Barrens probably being the most logical choice.
@Malent: Beta testers won't get to keep anything since it's a whole different game client with different servers and such.
I would like a placeholder box non combat pet though... :-
