I suspect silvermoon and exodar will be patch content warfronts.

According to this article the Alliance will capture the Undercity. I'm not sure yet though if I should take what it says seriously. Better wait for some more official info on the matter.

I'm sure the BElves will lift off the entire Quel'Thalas into a mega-Dalaran floating continent.
Control doesn't mean that every single horde-zone in EK will suddenly become Alliance and vice versa. I doubt they'll be revamping all of the zones like in Cata, so what will probably happen is that, once you hit 110 and do the BoA scenario then control of those two zones will shift (but I'm sure you'll be able to go back and visit their pre-BoA versions through dragons).
Going forward in the story (and maybe in the gameplay at max-level), the other zones will be under siege/they might start to revamp some zones in future patches/expansions. But I doubt it will suddenly switch to the Horde having no bases in EK/Ally no bases in Kalimdor.
An interview with one of the devs outright stating what is happening isn't good enough for you?
I mean, I know it's Blizzard and they change things all the time, but this is about you questioning the quality of the source.
Let me hop into my time machine, travel some months ahead and send you video footage of Alliance banners in the Undercity. Maybe then you'll be convinced.
It would be cool if some places are conquered DURING the patch cycles, an not just come patch day everything is different.
I don't think Quel'thalas gets taken, but you can't see it too clearly in the video so it's anyone's guess.
However, you can clearly see the Azuremyst Isles in it and they very clearly do not get covered in the spreading redness. Since Azuremyst and Quel'thalas are cross faction equivalents it's likely they'll both remain unconquered.
I don't think Quel'thalas and Azuremyst will be taken, at least not from the start. I really hope we can see an Alliance-taken "Overcity" and a Horde-taken Darnassus. Low-level characters can use the old version through phasing, that's what that technology is for.
So...will Blizzard rework these zones? Or will everything happen in questlines and with tons of phasing? They haven't said anything about a rework, so I am pretty sceptical.
