This means I can see a wider FOV, whereas before the camera was almost at the character's body, and I could only see a few degrees to the side of it. This has helped a little, but the downside is that instead of "being" the character, I am really an observer from 15m behind, so fighting and interactions with the environment feels detached. But I bought the game only to explore the world of Warcraft, not for fighting, so it's really not a problem.
And I am now playing 10 minutes at a time, so the effects aren't so bad. And I try to turn as little as possible too, or shut my eyes when I have to turn.
EDIT: If anyone is planning on buying Wow, be aware that after you install from the 5 CDs, you will need to download about 10Gb of updates before you can play. Took me about 18 hours.
