That was confirmed to be fake long ago (by the author). Only pictures were ever released and honestly, why the hell would a game representative release all that info? It's incredibly bad marketing. Players also concluded that the levels were probably gotten from beta maps (or other methods of data mining).
I've also leave this link up here:
http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=11c4s6mu6nihofo63eb4hl5g25&topic=1547.0
The list itself however, makes sense. Cataclysm is the Maelstrom, btw. Because the Maelstrom was also referred to as Cataclysm, the expansion also opens up near the Maelstrom itself.
The way the expansions are planned (as in Emerald Dream after Cataclysm then the Burning Legion after that) makes perfect sense. I just don't see any reason for Blizzard to release such info, let alone why they'd allow that information to be released.
Like I said though, the list makes incredibly good sense. I just don't understand why Blizzard would allow such information to be released.
Blizzard have also claimed years ago they had ideas for "5-6" more expansions. That's quite a lot. WoWWiki even has it's own page on player speculation of expansions after Cataclysm:
http://www.wowwiki.com/Expansion_ideas
Any info you hear on other expansions is purely speculative. It can't be proven unless it comes from the horses mouth directly (I'd be classing Michael Morhaime, Frank Pearce, Rob Pardo and Chris Metzen as credible sources since they're key people are Blizzard).
Hell even Blizzard have changed their ideals over the years. Read back through the years on all the updates they said they'd absolutely never do, and then they did. Some quite recently.

cataclysm is mixing maelstrom AND the elemental planes sets so this list is sorta skewed now (and gilnaes is a 1-15 starting area)
Kinda. Except that the Plane Set also has the Emerald Nightmare, which is for the Emerald Dream. And Cataclysm doesn't include that (not primarily anyway).
As said, zone levels were probably taken from beta maps or were just early speculation. They weren't too far off.

People have "discovered" zones via private servers for the Emerald Dream. It's not built though, it's just a big blank area (like if you flew over Eastern Plaguelands into Quel'Danas currently).
The Emerald Dream is meant to be what the Titan's envisioned Azeroth as. It is the original blueprints for Azeroth and what it would be if intellectual beings (such as humans, orcs, elves, the Old Gods, elementals, demons, etc) had never interfered.
It is where Malfurion sleeps, among other Druids (though he's apparently meant to make an appearance in Cataclysm and be really ^&*!ed off or some crap like that). The Emerald Dream is being corrupted by the Emerald Nightmare, and the World Dragons you see at the World Trees (like the one in Darkshore, for example) have been corrupted (they're supposed to protect the portals to the Emerald Dream but have been corrupted by the Nightmare).
It'll probably be the next expansion, more than anything I've heard of so far.

.
no they are not the same the maelstrom is the big swirling vortex that was once the well of eternity before it blew up and split what was then called kalimdor into what we know the world as today. plus we know from blizzcon that azhara will not be in this expansion.
the catayclysm is called this because when deathwing eventually emerges from the depths of the world he will cause cataclysmic effects to the world.

I think there will be a patch that contains Emerald Dream stuff which will connect Cataclysm with the Maelstorm expac.
