In the end, i think they have set the Void up to take the Legions place as our "Big Bad" and from the void came the old gods, and from N'Zoth comes evil Azshara. So unless they ignore the story line that 2 novels and a big portion of this expansion has set up and go out in left field with something like "World of Warcraft: Ooker Dooker takes over Pandaria" I think it will be an expansion with some connection to the void
