It's a copy paste of WoD assets, but it's still a cool zone
Have they ever gone back and removed the ptr's release candidate before? I don't remember that happening. Must be related to Khadgar/realm connections honestly.
Now, now, let's not get hasty. There were in fact TWO kinds of architecture for each faction. There was Human and Dwarf for Alliance, and Orc and Tauren for the Horde.

Don't forget it also has new content, technically even a dungeon, short and made of reused assets it may be. And it has unique rewards only obtainable from that area with the new weapon models.

It has brand new quests and gear and a new landmass, the fact we're debating over whether or not it's a new zone is telling how much we needed pre-patch live this week.
I had this argument with someone a while ago. Apparently its because of people playing twice a year who care deeply about their server identity or somesuch thing.
For the more high end raiders there is definitely a care about things like server rankings and such. But I wouldn't lose any sleep over WoW turning into a mega-server.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
It was, not a very big one or something like Isle of Giants but it is a zone.Just like Hrothgars Landing was a new zone.

The sieze of it hardly matters to whether it is a new zone or not.
It is a landmass that was previously not there, offering quests that were previously not in the game, giving you rewards that were added specifically for that piece of content.
How you spin that as not constituting a new zone is beyond me.
