She has always had them, and that one they scrapped has sharp pointed fingers and unpainted claw like finger nails, so I think it's safe to bet the updated Night Elf model will have them in the way Azshara and Tyrande have them, Illidan's claws might be left to his demon hunter stuff, but they might create some claws like you see in drawings I linked.
They are like the Wolverine version of elves, even with male Nelf's getting mutton chops to go with their and fangs and in their art a lot of claws, feral forest elves, the first thing they reminded me of were the Wolfriders from Elfquest.

Ever consider those are totally different people with totally different opinions who wait on the internet to post until they don't like something?

That model was scrapped a long time ago, to be clear. Not because people didn't like it. And they've had fangs for 10 years, people aren't going to change it.

It seems to me they are supposed to be a cross between the minimalist almost German expressionist style of Batman the animated series or Hellboy with giant bodies the size as you see in the cinema scene of a being more like the Thing from the Fantastic 4 or the Hulk or Image Comics PItt or the Maxx, they are supposed to be huge, like Tauren for the Alliance for the males.
It's a style thing, it's a comic book thing. I think saying it does not make sense is just ignoring an appreciation for something you don't appreciate. This is stylized cartoon art, and it makes sense in that universe. But look at the size of Maraad in his Sideshow or Dc Direct statue, they are supposed to be gigantic I'd say. The concept art explores something more subdued but they went wild with it as they went along. There are different body types, but the hero character we play is their giant muscle head every superhero team has had going back to Beast I guess which got way out of hand in the 90s it seems. I like it personally.

Now that we've seen they specifically updated the NPC Dark Portal new orcs with new high resolution RED fel chaos orc skins who are in the Horde, I won't rule it out. I'd love a red orc like the blademaster from Pearl of Pandaria. Fel Orcs, no thanks, unless their spines looked like Samwise's awesome fel orc, but otherwise an easy thing to add now when they add expanded customization with what the NPCs have shown us is a red shade of skin that is not the red ochre people mistake Mag'har for being too red from.

Why would they scrap it if artists/internals liked the model? But yes.. we don't know if the fangs was a detail that bugged them..
Personally I like to see fangs, my guess is that they will be more subtle like in the warcraft3 poster.
They will probably avoid the "in your face, thats how your night elf should actually look like"-effect
They make these HD models for the people who played with these models for nearly 10 Years and liked them as they are. (whats probably the reason they still playing them)
Not so much for people who want an different direction on them. Same applies btw. for all the other races and genders.
There are always a lot of people who don't play particular race or genders for various reason, wanting a different direction on them to fit their vision of that race/gender, so that they can finally play (or enjoy) them.
From what we have seen, changes will be pretty pragmatic (super duper pragmatic are Draenei Females), bigger changes only happen if something can't be translated well to a HD model (f.e. orc female prosture).

Can't wait to see what they do with the male humans. I'd like to see something along the lines of these. Although i don't and never will play a male human, id like to just stare at him though
Right... but dat poly count. I can see it now.
~*Breaking news for blizzard!* Millions unsubscribe from the game due to the fact that their 8 year old Dell laptops are no longer able to run the game! Company in shambles!~
As they've shown us by now, they have the technology and skill to create some extremely visually impressive things but let us not forget that they're under the constant pressure of an extremely low performance cap, not only due to the original limitations of the game's engine but of the playerbase itself. Just going through the transmog threads it's sometimes a reality check as to just how many people still play the game on low-med settings, even pre-WOD updates.

Those mounts should totally be a thing!
But Goldrinn is a wolf, not a wolverine. Wolverines are basically scraggly little pissed-off raccoons. It makes sense for the comic character because, unlike Hugh Jackman, he's like four and a half feet tall. That's why Sabertooth calls him "runt."
OMG 13:37 - Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Cleave unto me, and I shall grant to thee the blessing of eternal salvation."
And His disciples said unto Him, "Can we get Kings instead?"
Could somebody add the Vrykul hair style and beard to the Warlords Ogre model?
For the Horde!
That is one hunky model of Varian.
Start trying to work out who deserves what, and before long you’ll spend the rest of your days weeping for each and every person in the world.

I never noticed varian's armor has such a big dwarf motif.
