Go to software center, install playonlinux, and then once it's installed and you open it from your menu (or alt+f2), click install
choose games, and find your WoW version to install =).
Then follow the on screen instructions. If you get further problems the best place to look is the forums on winehq.org

Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference. – nanofarad Aug 20 '12 at 17:37

Yes, it is possible. First Download and install(by double clicking) PlayOnLinux then open PlayOnLinux (Applications -> PlayOnLinux) and click install.
Then select Games -> World of Warcraft and follow the on-screen instructions.
Then run the game from Applications -> Playonlinux -> World of Warcraft

after installing you should launch World of Warcraft with the flag "-opengl". Example "wine Wow.exe -opengl" or "wine Launcher.exe -opengl" – Jul 04 '11 at 10:52

1@TheDarktonik playonlinux already configures the wine registry to use opengl :) – Lincity Jul 04 '11 at 12:23

You don't need to go through PlayOnLinux. Simply download the Windows installer from Battle.net and install as you would on Windows. Worked like a charm for me.
