It would seem that 7.3.2 carried a few pieces of the next expansion with it, though the HUGE CAVEAT here is that this is all fragmentary and does not give us a really comprehensive sense of the expansion. We've got a week and a day before Blizzcon starts, so it won't be long before we have confirmation, but let's look at the latest stuff.
First up is a battle pet called Tottle, who appears to be a Tortollan, as seen in Hearthstone's Un'goro expansion. The Tortollans are a race of turtle-people who are apparently tied closely to the Wild God Tortolla (whom we helped in Hyjal during Cataclysm.) This could just be something tied to Hearthstone, but given that the Secrets of Un'goro expansion for Hearthstone was a while ago, I'd guess we might be seeing these turtle-folk pop up in expansion seven, presumably as an NPC race.
Second is a mount. We only have the name, which is "Seabraid Stallion." Such a name could fit just about anywhere, but it certainly doesn't count against the idea of a nautical expansion - in fact, given that horses are the human racial mount and we're likely going to Kul Tiras, it wouldn't be too odd to see a sea-themed horse mount as tied to some kind of Kul Tiras faction.
That's about it. I haven't seen any really convincing copyright applications for titles, but then I didn't see one for Legion.
