Actually that seems to have been fixed recently (see bugs
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26571,
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24928).

WoW has had semi-experimental D3D10 support for a few months now,
disabled by default. It uses the new APIs but offers no additional
features. To enable it, you can use /console gxapi D3D10.
