wine WoW.exe -opengl (with or without -nosound) gives:
I can see the buttons and the particle effects at the login screen (my WTF file has pixelshaders disabled)
wine WoW.exe (directX mode):
I can see the entire screen, but it will run, say 20 frames smoothly then hiccup, 20 frames+hiccup etc.
Not sure if there is anything I can do to improve it, I tried setting nice -15 but it did not seem to make much difference to it. I also do not know if I should not be using D3D anyway. Lastly I tried setting SET M2UseShaders "0" in my WTF file and openGL rendered completely but now has the same "hiccup" problems D3D has.

I don't have one of those cards to test this with, but if the problems
are post patch 2.2 then the driver may be fine. Try starting the game
with '-nosound' and see what that does to your FPS. There have been some
serious CPU usage issues with WoW 2.2 and 2.22 that are still being
worked on. When I was testing this on my system (Nvidia graphics) I had
high CPU usage and horrid FPS, but with -nosound I was back up to 50-60
FPS. Sorry if it is the card/drivers, but since the sound overloading
systems is a known issue it may be worth testing.
