2) Literally everything else in the game would have to be re-worked to accommodate 3 factions (raids, BG's, questing areas, etc) and after cata, Blizz isn't gonna do that anytime soon.
3) It would increase the workload of every expansion from this point on.
4) There are already servers where one or the other faction is non-existent, a third faction would just exacerbate that problem.
5) It makes little sense lore-wise.
