Two things: you have to disable the compiz effects first - they don't work well together with 3d apps yet. Get something like the Compiz Fusion Icon to do that. Then make sure WoW runs in OpenGL mode instead of Direct3D.

More info, don't run weird stuff - it's for a different distro. Many of the performance tweaks still apply though:
