Yes it's War and yes the Pandaren are a part of the grand peace idea that Blizzard has.

I'd really like an expansion without a Big Bad - it'd be a nice change.

I am really looking forward to cutting up some Sha-posessed ninja panda mutants, even if they are not aligned under some single silly omnipotent villain.
And China-themed dungeons + the remake of Scholomance and Scarlet Monstary... mean... that... THERE WILL FINALLY BE NO TROLL CRAP. Even though Gundrak was my favorite instance.

Actually, they said the Zandalari and other trolls would have their day in 5.0 =/ So I think yes, there will be troll stuff unfortunately. It was in the Lore Q&A.

It certainly does seem like they want the Trolls to be the one persistent, not-much-more-than-annoying enemy that we'll be fighting every expansion and every other patch. There has been well-done Troll instances, but I wouldn't mind going without them for an expansion.
Perhaps have a few troll bosses spread out over several dungeons.

Don't think there will necessarilly be a Big Evil whatever, like there was in the last
3
expansions.
Fixed. BC had Illidan announced as the big end boss (but eventually it became kil'Jaeden *shrug*).

But what is stopping them now? In this next expansion, it could just be an all out war between the two factions
that's the point.
In the other expansions, they never could FULLY focus on the alliance/horde conflict because there was a major threat going on in the background, be it legion, scourge, or twilight hammer freaks.
this time, there are no major world-ending events, and hints from the pre-pandaria event point at a posible destruction of theramoore as the catalyst that pushes the war into full overdrive.
So, while there are some minor threats in pandaria, the main focus of this expansion is red vs blue, the enemy is whoever is on the faction oposite to yours.
also, while this is the expansion that will display the war at its WORST point, this also hints as the expansion where the alliance and horde FINNALY may end up getting along.
because at least in pandaria, having pure raw hatred, generates a special enemy called the Sha, a form of void negative energy beings that are born from raw hatred.
this is why pandarens while they love battle, and combat, they never hate their oponents.

They'll have to get along eventually since both the Alliance and the Horde will more than likely be part of the prophesied Army of the Light.

My money is on another Old God. N'Zoth maybe? He has not yet been revealed.

There is no primary antagonist for MoP. Bad guys include the Mogu, Mantid, Sha and Zandalari Trolls. As Metzen put it, MoP is the "calm before the storm" as the Alliance and Horde conflict begins to escalate.
That doesn't make any sense though. The trailer for vanilla WoW talks about how the conflict is now escalating, in WotLK it's the same, and then they said in Cata that the conflict is full-scale now...
Personally the idea of no new main villain is a little jarring because it's so different. But meh.

Honestly, it's going to be like Vanilla; we had the threat of the Blacks, C'thun, Hakkar and KT. So far, the three big bads we know of are the Sha(the evil/negative emotions that the war is stirring up), the Mogu(who the Pandarens took the land from) and the Mantids(going insane and trying to invade). From there, more villains will be showing up; such as the Zandalari, continuing their attempts to return to power.
