WotLK: How do Blizzard select players to participate in the beta test?
[source]
It's largely random. We do our best to make sure we have a good mix of players. I've seen it before where one friend has posted on the forum about another friend who got in but they didn't and why didn't they when their friend is the one that only plays casually and they (the op) are the one that is hardcore. We're not looking to pick one demographic to help do the testing. We look for a good mixture of people with different play styles and interests. It gives a decent snapshot of what issues need fixed or tweaked prior to release.
The random beta tickets are sent out by email. It's why when it comes time for a beta, we will remind everyone (sometimes to the point of annoyance) to please please please update your contact information and email. There were many people that never got an invitation because they had a bad email.
WotLK: Retribution Paladins and mana issues
[source]
What was said was that the developers plan to change how the abilities of Retribution Paladins will work, which will make it easier to gear up due to the possibilities of sharing gear with Warriors. Although we have little information beyond this, this may also serve as an interpretation that Retribution Paladin mana issues should be less of a concern after WotLK.
Arena Tournament: Registration fee

The fee is for each qualification stage, but if you qualify (top 4) from the first one you're not required to play the second one. You'd already be through to the regional and can sit back and watch the others battle it out in the second qualifier to meet you at the regional. Of course, if you do qualify from the first one you can still pay the entry fee from the second one to have access to the realm and keep your Arena skills honed, but you can't qualify twice.
Armory update frequency
[source]
The armory continually updates character information when people log out, there may be some delays in some things or old data being displayed by a browser, but we are continue to work on making it as smooth as possible.
Bug: Combatlog does not record player death

We are aware of this issue and it will be fixed in an upcoming patch.
Bug: The abominations within Stratholme might bug
[source]
The event will not continue if it attempts to reset while abominations are in combat. We are aware of this issue and it is being worked on.
