You can play any race without an expansion since MoP

You can play any race without an expansion since MoP, so you can always grab a Pandaren on trial, no race needs an expansion anymore. Only thing that requires expansions are zones, levels and DK/Monk to simplify things.

Again, learn your facts, if they added a new race anyway it would have been free to all. Also, do you really need a new class to have to balance with every other class right now? Let them focus on the new gear itemization, new stats and PVP/PVE balance instead of 'OMG need Demon Hunter!' or some other class. What makes this an expansion? Well, that was stated above, but you don't like any of the features so you call them out as things that don't make an expansion. Also, expansions are where they can do a lot of crazy and exciting things that cannot be done in a patch cycle (remove hit/expertise say what?).

"Are we getting more professions, or something similar to the Tiler's farm?" -Darmonic
A: Yes, inside Garrisons will be the option for a 'farm.' We are not getting 'new' professions, but the Garrison will allow you to have multiple with some restrictions.
