Well that explains the Cataclysm digital pre-sale FAQ which was posted earlier today! It's now possible to pre-order the digital version of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm on Battle.net. The expansion will cost the standard price of $39.99, with no current option for a digital Collector's Edition, meaning you may have to either order the box online or wait in line at a store on release day if you want your own Lil' Deathwing.
Simply log in to your account and access the game management for World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King. There should now be a little box on the right side of the page that will allow you to pay for the upgrade and start Cataclysm's download. Once you finish downloading you'll be ready to play at midnight on December 7th when the expansion releases!
And just for completeness sake, check out the FAQ from Slorkuz below.

A. You will be charged on the day that you place your pre-order for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.
