1) by all means pop in the opengl line i did for a while and then realised my game was crashing occasionally so had to remove it...i reccommed:
2) turn off the sun streaks, water effects and lower particle density etc use your common sense....put it all on low and raise things up bit by bit to see what you can manage, we all have different macs with different graphics cards their gonna vary on their abilities...AA(antialiasing) works on 4x for me, ill post my specs at the end..
3) addons muck up the game, make sure they are fully updated and turn em off at first when you set up your graphics. the patch aint been out long enough for the developers to perfect em yet...also gs affects your currently bugged /inspect dont worry everyone has this problem mac or windows.
4) i suggest going to video-advanced-and putting on reduce input lag, helps i think even though it says otherwise to performance definately helps gameplay so a valuable setting.
last and most certainly not least: DON'T do it in Lagaran (Dalaran), goto Ironforge (best fps for me, enclosed, simple and less bodies, so less lag and also less morons firing off abilitys....except near the dummies make sure your away from that when you set it up for now) do not expect to get good Fps in lagaran we are not the only ones there are plenty of pc users with crap fps there its just the way it is, set up your hearthstone and time yourself. post patch wow is now a thinking game not a mindless button mash in more ways than one.
This all worked for me and now i have a more than playable game....give them a little while to work it out...the server is down now for me in the UK atm. i have a: 20" iMac C2D 2.4ghz....4gb....hd2600 pro. nothing new or that special..try out what ive said i think youll be surprised! here are my settings but remember yours might need some tweaking. NN!
