Why was it changed?
Because chris metzen didnt like it.
am I the only one who really liked the Stonewrought Dam one?

i like the current one. the other was... it was portal, but missed Deathwing in it, it didnt really maked much sense and as they said, most people wouldnt know wtf it was if they havent been at endgame content. and its cool and make sense that its the picture for the end of the cinematic.
because the only thing missing from the current loging screen is Deathwing saying:
"roll horde because alliance suck. see? i just f*cked up their capital. lolololol"
altho i dont mind that much tbh. my main is ally, and i mostly pvp, and having instant BG queues is a plus =D
Horse****, the Twilight's Hammer has been balls deep in this game since level freaking 20, they're all over, they're in the books, you fight them in a bunch of instances, they have one of the cooler bosses in the low levels, Twilight Lord Kelris, they were a main enemy in the Vanilla end game, they're in Ahn'kahet, they're in Ulduar.
They're ****ing EVERYWHERE man, you can't shake a STICK without hitting some kind of Twilight Cultist oriented thing.
The reason was stupid, and what it came down to is they wanted Deathwing to be featured, and I'm fine with that, actually, but get rid of that girly screech, use the cinematic roar, or I'll login fast to avoid how annoying it is, just like I do with Sin right now, beef it up so it isn't annoying and I might stick around to hear it every so often.
Oh look WotLK login 2.0 Another roaring dragon. It's like they didn't even try. The first seemed to have more effort put into. Then again with (what I assume was a portal of sorts) in the background one could say it's like the BC login, which I prefered anyway. I don't want noise when I open WoW
