Major changes are coming to the NA servers when 6.0 releases. Haven't heard anything about EU servers yet, but that's really all I can say at the moment. Anyone on NA should set aside $25.

I'm not sure I'd say it doesn't matter. GW2 has much less sub's but makes more net profit than WoW does. WoW revenue has dropped about 80% year to date according to their financial reports and content suffers because of it. NCSoft pushes out more content than blizzard and it's because they make more net profit.
There are also far less paying sub's than you think. Out of those 6-8m about 70% don't pay sub's. There are major changes coming in a few months to the servers and you will realize then just how badly things are going for Blizzard in the states. Its not a coincidence that they are selling 90s, taking preorders a year in advance, and pushing out cash shop features faster than ever.

Still doesn't really matter. They still make good money with 6-8 million subs. Along with expansion sales. Sure, some people get bored and take a break but they still come back to check out the new content but some people simply move on because it is time for them to.
WoW hit its peak awhile ago and will never have 13-14 million subs again and the remaining subs are basically their constant average number.

Except history shows that's not true. Sure a lot of them will come back but numbers show that every time this happens a significant portion do stay away for good.

Note the release date is "some time before december" which isnt the same thing ^^
Most people are thinking September.
And yes SoO will last way to long and WoW is going to lose another few million subs because of it.

I just looked up the release date for this and was very surprised to learn it is only december 2014. I played some WoW the beginning of this year, and already thought then that MoP is pretty much done with. I thought next addon would be in May or something.
What are you guys doing in the meantime over this year? Or is there content coming out after the garosh raid?

Yeah . . . sure.
Hard to take anyone serious on the internet without something to back up what they are saying.
