Highlights

The underwater boss in Azshara's Eternal Palace poses unique challenges that Blizzard is excited to fulfill. They've experimented with using underwater areas to dramatic effect earlier in Battle for Azeroth, in the Horde War Campaign when the player tries to find Derek's body. Blizzard is always trying to push the limit to do different things, and fighting underwater fits into the fantasy of the naga.

The Alliance and Horde have different stories in Battle for Azeroth. The Horde gets special quests and more story in Uldir, including Geister mit Euch. However, the Alliance may have more story and context for the Crucible of Storms Raid, taking place under Stormsong Valley, as well as the Gnomish door leading to Mechagon as well.

More Allied Races may be coming in future patches. Blizzard likes them to feel relevant to the ongoing storyline, for example if we have been helping a certain race in a patch. No specifics to announce yet though.

Blizzard admits they could have done more to mitigate the extreme class stacking on Zul with subtlety rogues. It's fine if some classes have particular strengths, but they could have mitigated their extreme benefits by perhaps putting damage shields on the adds in Mythic difficulty. They are planning on doing that with a similar fight in Battle of Dazar'alor, High Tinker Mekkatorque, which features robot adds.

Blizzard acknowledges it's awesome the community is so into the Mythic race, but no changes to impact the race are planned in Tides of Vengeance. They also discussed the Warlock class stacking on G'huun.

After the Burning of Teldrassil, and the feedback that some Horde players felt bad about agreeing to burn the tree, Blizzard is trying to experiment more with the idea of player choice. They have nothing further to announce yet besides the choice presented for the Saurfang questline in the Patch 8.1 PTR, but there could be "cool opportunities" for players.
