I played all the Warcraft games and then joined wow in Beta. I remember the game being accessible to me because things were familiar. So I worry if the game is less of a continuous story because of Cata. Are the missing years of story line going to change his leveling experience? He can go fight the Lich King and that is a plus but the early quests are going to talk about a lot of events he was never a part of. Do the assume he knows things? Do you think missing the years in-between the RTS and cata years will be lore confusing or OK? Is there a primer I should give him?
