WotLK: There won't be two versions of Naxxramas (lvl 60 and 80)

[Source]

The Dread Citadel will float its way back home to Northrend as it cannot exist in two places at once.

WotLK: About Players stats and items upgrade

[Source]

Players and items will have an increase in their stats/items that goes along with leveling to 80, it will just be a little more consistent when compared to The Burning Crusade. What I mean by this is the way items are working right now will be closer to the new items you get in Wrath of the Lich King and it isn't like you will see an item with double the usual amount of stamina from your first quest.

WotLK: Infinite Dragonflight and Caverns of Time

[Source]

And outside of knowing the new Caverns of Time: Stratholme instance is based on the Warcraft III level 'The Culling', not a lot of details have been shared. More will come in due time, whether the Infinite Dragonflight will show up remains to be seen.
