You absolutely can play it on Linux by several different methods. 2 prefectly functioning commercial options are using Cedega: www.transgaming.com, and even crossover office supports WoW now. Alternatively, you can use Wine to play.
Play on Linux is nearly indistinguishable from windows at this point. This is due to a couple of reasons: 1. WoW can use OpenGL to render in addition to DirectX, and 2. The modification/addon system is through a WoW specific compiler of the 'LUA' scripting language -- which is OS indepedent.
Best of luck!
