Narshe: If the dungeon that came first always keeps its abbreviation, then "Uld" would refer to Uldaman, not Ulduar.... or Uldum. Right? Nope, Uld refers to Ulduar right now, and it'll be Uldum in cata. The general rule is that more recent, and therefore more relevant, content has first choice of abbreviations.

That being said... if you say DM in Westfall chat, it's obvious you mean Deadmines. If you say it in Feralas chat, it's obvious you mean Dire Maul. If it would be ambiguous (i.e. trade chat) DM is Dire Maul and VC is deadmines. However, since Deadmines is being significantly updated in cata and Dire Maul presumably isn't, Deadmines will have first choice of its abbreviation again.
