Not really a leak but this is what I guessed on August 17th 2016, before BFA was announced. In fact, Legion was days away of coming out.
Let's see if I get something right on EX8!
Azshara is still technically alive and well Void Lords can sent out as many Old Gods as they want. Burning Legion is already done though(At least Sargeras's original vision for it).

Azshara is mostly dealt with. She won't come back as an end of raid boss and her main domain, Nazjatar, is also dealt with.
I made it before Legion even came out as I said. But I still think we didn't see the end of the Burning Legion.
Just hoping I at least get the Bolvar part right for EX8.

Really special cases those three, specially the first two. Can't see Azshara being a main threat again without Nazjatar and a big part of the Naga force we beat there.
Maybe a penultimate boss in some raid in EX8 at best. But my best bet is that she will become neutral or even friendly when she appears again.
I wouldn't agree with that actually, as a player who has a fair amount of experience with both playing and *creating* private servers. If this was done entirely via Photoshop it'd take some time, skill and lots of attention to detail, but it would be beliavable. If this was done on a PS, you'd need to:
Make a 8.2 server (relatively easy), then replace Goldshire inn model with a WoD garrison inn model (relatively easy), then you have to create new icons for the UI bottom-right bar (Spellbook and Talents have new icons) and somehow apply them (I have no idea how something like this is done and I know that only few PS have custom UI icons so it is a rare thing), then you have to edit the UI text for some spell (average), then you have to edit the art and names for the Dungeon Journal which I haven't seen done on any PS but I guess it wouldn't be much different from the UI bar icons, then you have to ADD a "Lairs" tab which I don't think your regular PS modders can do (very hard), then you have to create a custom texture for the player resource bar (steam?) and somehow implement it (hard) and finally you'd have to edit the Lion's Pride Inn to be a neutral/contested territory so that the map text appears as yellow not green/red (average).
Ofcourse you can just do everything till point 2 and then do the rest in Photoshop but whether it was done in Photoshop or PS, it all sounds like awful a lot of work for a single screenshot. If it was a PS there would have been a lot more screenshots and there would have been information about this project on the Modding communities, which there is none of. Also why would you change the Lion's Pride Inn from green to yellow? Even if you have a faction merge, it'd make sense for an INN to still be a friendly territory and not neutral or contested territory. It seems like such a small details to change yet it carries such significance. It seems too detailed for a random guy's work. Also notice that the shot is taken at an angle (either because it was taken from a phone or because the fabricator wanted to replicate that effect) - that makes the Photoshop theory even more difficult to implement because you have to put everything at the exact right angle. I went to the same place in-game and took a screenshot at the exact same angle to confirm if everything is as it should be and it was. One thing I did notice is that for the Dungeon Journal to cover your character model in such a manner, you have to play with a UI scale set at 1.0 size. Which is the default as far as I know. So there is a good chance the person is playing on a computer different from their own. A QA dev testing studio? I 80% believe this screenshot to be real.
Dunno, but I remember watching Mists of Pandaria and thinking, "what? Is this an April fool's joke? Where's the punchline?" Then as it went on, I saw that they were serious, and I was very uncomfortable with the reveal... Though it turned out to be an amazing expansion in the end. So it was actually good that it took me by surprise!
However, Warlords of Draenor made me feel the same way... except that time, I knew that Blizzard was serious...
