On this front, this URL may be helpful:
http://www.wowwiki.com/Formulas_and_Game_Mechanics
Many of the game mechanics are now known, but many are also unknown, or we only have a rough idea. I think this is because unlike Diablo 1/2, many of the formulas only reside on the server and we are not made privy to them.
For example we know how melee crit chance works and is calculated, since there is an indicator of your crit rate in the spellbook. But until recently all we knew about spell crit chance was that more intellect = more spell crits. Blizzards has since shed a little light on that formula, but many are still unknown.
