Hi :)

There are some helpful tutorials about this on the internet but i don't know exactly where to look. Since WoW is a Windows game and is not designed to run in linux it is worth installing Wine and looking in their forums and in their Applications Database to see how other people have dealt with this in the past
http://www.winehq.org/
http://forum.winehq.org/
http://appdb.winehq.org/

Also you might find it helpful to run through all the steps in this guide, except the optional step (i usually avoid that one)

This next guide is just for using to look things up in. It's not meant to be thoroughly read and understood :)

Good luck and regards from

Maybe simpler than Tom's answer is to install the app called PlayOnLinux.

Through that app you can install several WoW disks.
