If 8.2 ends up being shit and Classic doesn't grab the customers like expected, We will see the new Allied race towards the end of September. If Classic is a big hit, which it's looking to be, We will see the Allied races in December.
Big Blizzard releases share one thing in common; they all happen right before the end of Quarterly numbers. They use the hype of content to drag in more customers so they can tell their stockholders, "Look at how many monthly users we have!" when in reality, their month to month numbers are lower, but since the reporting Quarter's month showed high numbers, they're not technically lying when they say, "This Quarter we saw 10M active subscribers." even though 2 of those months they only had 2M users.
So that's why the next Allied races aren't around; because they're being saved for when the stock holders need to see big results, not when the players want them or they make sense in the story.
