If they released WoD prior to the anniversary it doesn't seem fair to the players that don't purchase WoD. The 10th anniversary is a WoW celebration not a WoD celebration. If you don't purchase WoD then you wouldn't be able to participate at "Max-level". I don't think Blizzard would penalize players and not allow them to participate in the 10th anniversary if they haven't purchase WoD yet.
Plus, I doubt they would force everyone to rush to level 100. Rush is obviously different to everyone, for me it would be a rush if WoD was released in October.
Based on this I think WoD will be released in December after the Anniversary. But hey, that's just my opinion.
