This should work. WoW has no special files or registry entries. You can copy one WoW install directly to another computer. In fact I do just that on a regular basis since I have two computers capable of running WoW. I patch one, install my UI mods etc, then I just delete the WoW directory on the other and copy over the newly patched and updated WoW directory.

And it came... and it went... and I played Hearthstone longer than Diablo III.
