Have you tried running WoW in windowed mode? I do that so I have access to things outside the game but can still keep an eye on it at the same time. I'm also running with 2 monitors so that helps a lot, but windowed mode might be good for you.
Ug! Me am nu orc! Me wun clomp da oomies wid da Clan Skullcrusher! Latz tayk da nu orc?
(I put in an application earlier. Hope to see you all in game soon.)
