If you were as lore-accurate as you claimed to be, Aphel... you would notice the multitude of inaccuracies in the "article", as well as things that simply will never happen.
How can you possibly know that something will never happen (atleast as far as lore goes)? The Warcraft lore is not set in stone. Blizzard has full and complete control over their property. I mean honestly, it's Blizz's lore they can literally do whatever the f*** they wish. The Cataclysm leak seemed like something that would never happen and lots of people were skeptical at the time. Worgen and Goblins as playable races? Blizzard would never do that. Totally revamp and redesign old content? Blizzard would never do that either. Oh wait, they did

Wait, you're comparing the Cataclysm leak to this? The cataclysm leak had proof to back up text, screenshots and more than a simple 'article' with bad fan fiction writing. Here's why Worgen / Goblin made sense... if you have any clue at all about lore:
Your argument of 'this is Blizzards lore, they can do whatever the **** they want with it' is entirely ridiculous and baseless. Blizz has nearly 100% stuck to their base lore, and obviously as expansions come and go, they expand upon their lore. They aren't going to butcher the hell out of what is already there for a coming expansion. This is an MMORPG, not plastic surgery. Even the addition of the Draenai and the Blood Elves made sense, from a lore aspect. The Draenai once lived on Outland, the planet Draenor with the orcs, when the Burning Legion enslaved the orcs via bloodlust, they orcs massacred the Draenai: Naturally they joined the horde. The Blood Elves (Sin'dorei) were exiled from the alliance for using Fel Magic and allying with the Naga, being that Sylvannas Windrunner was once Blood Elf, she requested the horde take them in.Goblins served the Horde pretty much exclusively before the Third War. Even in today's Azeroth they still favor the Horde, giving them use of their zeppelins. The Goblins that are joining the back up with the Horde are more than likely only a minority amongst the Goblin race (probably under a Trade Prince) and the majority of the race will still remain neutral, lore-wise.
The Worgen allying themselves to the Alliance are more than likely the transformed nation of Gilneas, once one of the seven bastions of Human power. Their ruler, Lord Genn Greymane, pulled their support of the Alliance after the Second War because he refused to spend his nation's resources on keeping the orcs alive in internment camps. He shut his nation off from the rest of the world, and no one has seen the Gilneans in over 10 years. Since then a Worgen infestation has taken place just outside of the Greymane Wall, and it is fairly safe to assume that if one of these beasts ever got loose in the isolated nation, they could easily turn it's majority.
Neither of the suggested races make sense in the least. The Ethereals have never been more than neutral in any regard, and are even more about making money and hoarding technology than the Goblins are. The Naga are considered evil by both sides, they are twisted aberrations of what was once an ancient race of Night Elves. You'd be better off telling me that Ogres are going to join the horde, that fits.
i love how this entire thing just got proved wrong
I'm not so sure its "wrong". I have a sneaking suspicion that it very well could have been correct at the time, and perhaps because of the leak they decided to pull out the pandas. The fact they said Pandas were supposed to be in TBC leads me to believe that they may have unmoth-balled it and brought it out.
Total speculation, but its possible.
