I would focus on the conflict between the Alliance and Horde.
Balance out PvE and PvP - Possibly split them into two groups because as it is now it's ridiculously hard to balance.

Try to add the open world feel back to the game and give players a fun reason to do world PvP.
One possible solution that has been in the game:
Having to run to a zone to queue for a BG would enable world PvPing to start again, the "portals" to the BGs should also be fairly close to one another.

Make some zones where there are plenty of materials to gather but flying is disabled.
I'd also revert the questing back to what it was like pre Cata where you had the option of doing other quests other than the zone chain one.
Remove the fail risk on engineering items and give professions specialization trees to add uniqueness to your characters.

And finally stop focusing on raiding, most players seem to be doing PvE but that doesn't mean the other players who enjoy PvP more should be punished. Most of the raiders who dislike PvP probably haven't been able to get into it. I would try to make them experience some PvP to get them into it, players on PvE realms should be able to avoid this though.

That's what I'd do.

Edit- Lol the new site layout made the text invisible ^^

I would remove flying mounts from the game. it is truly ruining the game.. there are so many cool zones, even in WOTLK that are deserted...

and add something fun in old world so people travel around and pvp etc..
