Wildhammer Dwarves being more evident throughout Azeroth (they are the source of the coming Dwarven Shamans after all)Are we certain that's happening? I know the Wildhammers being the shamans would make the most sense, and is fairly likely, but has it been verified?
I mean, it wouldn't be the first time they forgot already existing relevant lore if they went with something different...

This is a very minor thing, but something I think is long overdue. Trolls and Gnomes should get their own unique background at the character selection screen.

To be fair, would you entrust an incredibly important mission in defense of the Alliance/Horde to a completely untried, green hero, virgin to the battlefield and to the sword and stave?
The introductory quests are there for dual reasons: They let you learn the basic mechanics of the game, and they start building your character's reputation amongst your faction for acts of bravery and skill.

Which is why I suggest some minor updates to them, which introduce players to their racial abilities: Humans have Perception and Every Man for Himself, both of which would work perfectly for a little quest to find a stealthed Defias agent who incapacitates you when you see him, and you have to use EMfH to get out.
Lore quests would introduce players to the world, and could let new players know about all that was lost when Deathwing returned.
Bag quests, as a final note are needed as well, even a 4-slot is better than nothing. I was shocked and ecstatic when I did the BE starter zone for the first time and got a bag, and then before I went up to Ghostlands, I got a second one!
I agree - I burned myself out on the Draenei starter quests, even on other races, because I was so happy to get bags without buying them!
This is only partially on-topic, but was anyone else rather happy when Ghostcrawler commented that they're aware people like class quests, and they'll think about re-adding them/adding new ones?

What I'm most curious about is whether or not we'll have two new capital cities (Goblin and Worgen). Hopefully Blizz does give them their own cities rather than just a starting zone. Gilneas looked big but I can't tell if parts of the video are from a "city" or simply a town.

Well, they said Gilneas is becoming a battleground (likely due to the whole "Forsaken are finally taking over all of Lordaeron" thing). So I don't think that's going to be a capital city.
And, isn't the Kezan going to get flooded from the Cataclysm? I seem to recall that. So while Undermine could still be relatively intact underground, and isn't gone or anything, it might be inaccessible due to the island being flooded.
Seems like they're not doing the "new cities" thing this time. Really, it's probably not even necessary--we'll be hanging out in the already-existing old-world cities again.

I'm not sure that there's much left to speculate about...blizzard has released a ton of info already (not that I'm complaining). Other than specific story spoilers (which will probably only be discovered once the exp. is released), I don't know how much more info they could actually have to dish out between now and launch.
