Guys new CPU Intel Core i7-6950X, 6900K, 6850K and 6800K better for WoW ? Or wow engine shit and 6700k best choyce ?

You could run an ancient 2500k and play wow just fine, or that anniversary edition pentium g3258 or whatever it's number was with a 960 and be just fine. The new stuff is nice but not necessary. You'll not benefit at all from extra cores in this game, if you can find or tweak your own cpu to close to 5 Ghz, you'll have the best case scenario cpu wise; just hope blizzard improves cpu utilization and hopefully multithreaded capabilities going forward.
My PC Build 4790k @ 4.7 GHz @ 1.28v; 1080 @ +175 core, +500 memory
Really, none of them will even be better than an i5-6600k. All the ones you listed have on the 6700k is more cores. All the 6700k has on the 6600k is hyperthreading and larger cache. WoW will not make use of more core, hyperthreading, or the larger cache. All that matters is individual cores IPC to WoW, and the 6600k will match any of those in that.
this is normal when on max settings in an ashrans zerg. i run on a 4790k@4.4k , 1080gtx and a hyperx SSD. still have the same issue as urs. all other places / bgs are fine. its just the ashran zerg which seems normal to happen tbf.
This is a misunderstanding of core speed vs core utilization. While more and more of the engine is being offloaded to the GPU, there are still CPU-bound portions of the game, which is typically when minimum frame rates are achieved. Overclocking the CPU has been shown (MoP era, I believe) to give a 1-to-1 percentage boost to minimum frame rate. A 10% overclock would result in a 10% boost in minimum frame rate. Whether that "rule" exists after engine updates from WoD and Legion is unknown, though.
I am not sure if even the Nvidia 1080 can max WoW when using Render scaling at 200% plus maximum post processing AA on top, will have to see once more people get their hands on that.
Well no, you woun't be running with max AA and Render scaling at 200% lol it hammers the GPU. I recently did some poking around and I came up with this. If you're blind I'm running a 970 and a 6700k 54FPS average and I dip sometimes, If I turn the viewdistance down so I'm not rendering so many darn trees it spikes way up. 100% render scale, MSAAx8. Interesting thing that one CPU core (CPU#7) got up to 88% but never hit 100% the other cores caught up to roughly 60%(Core 7# is a hyperthreaded core so it makes sense). The 970 is my bottleneck here obviously it hit 101.41% hehe.
Point here is if you aren't going crazy with your settings cut back a few things you can easily get 60 fps in wow with a 980ti and definitely a 1080.

Why should people care about ridiculously unrealistic settings? WoW was never really a game meant to be super eye-candy.
If you're just walking around then sure, maybe you'll be able to see the difference, but if you're doing any content half serious then you won't have time to bother with graphics.
