If GC is saying they are further along with WoD at this point than they were back for MoP, I would be inclined to believe him. Just a thought.
I am sure we will see a faster release regardless though.

Tauren are in-dev so I'd say it's a safe bet they make launch. All the ones shown (even just in still form) at Blizzcon will likely make launch.
So Confirmed we have: Gnome, Dwarf, Orc, Tauren, Undead.
They'll probably have 1 more Alliance race as well, just to keep things balanced. My money is on Human due to their age and iconic status.

They obviously prepared the Blizzcon demo a long time before they were showed at the event, and that includes the character models.
I kinda agree, Blizzard is in a rough place when Bethesda can ship out a buggy pile of crap and still end up with GOTY awards.
Yeah, skyrim was an amazing game but the amount of bugs was so bad I felt like calling 1.800 lemon law
the trick to fixing this is just waiting till the "We fixed everything that should have been fixed with professional testers" patch is released to buy the game.
My biggest concern is MoP had all the zones at least modeled at reveal. Nagrand and The-Pinensula-Formerly-Known-As-Hellfire are still highly unfinished it seems as there's no screenshots at all of them, just concept art.
EDIT: Just to clarify before someone jumps on this post. I don't think this will push back the start of beta or launch. But I do think people saying it's more finished than MoP are wrong. MoP had a fully-done starting area of a fully-done new race, Monk was in a much better shape than DK was at its reveal. Plus they clearly had most of Pandaria modeled out.

Beta asap please!
I'd imagine it's because they don't have to come up with a bunch of bullshit lore for a new race or balance a new class.
It would be dark inside my head...if not for the fires...
Might be that they are farther in the development but only choosed to not show that much to keep things less spoiling. Might be what we already saw was the intended stuff to show.
You dont know whether or not it is modeled out or not. Omly blizzard does. The fact is 2013 blizzcon had much more to show in the demo than 2011 blizzcon. 2011 had pandaren, and only male pandaren at that. It also had the pandaren zone and a half way finished monk at best. 2013 had 2 zones 1 dungeon 3 new character models/new tier of 100 talents which im sure will change and the item squish.

When someone asks you if you're a god, YOU SAY 'YES'!
without a race and class to eat up large amounts of time they can focus more on the expansion content itself, raids, quests, areas, etc etc.
the models mostly eat up the art and animation teams time. But a class and race eat that and much more since you have to give them quests and balancing and mechanics and lore and etc etc ingame.
