Each expansion of WoW, and sometimes updates within expansions, has 
increased the graphics requirements. Depending on how long ago you 
played in Linux that may be what you are seeing. The increases may not 
have been as noticeable in Windows but are with the dx9 and some other 
limitations in Wine.
