With the return of the Starcraft franchise, I'm not sure if another Warcraft installment is really needed..
Starcraft II will be the gold standard of RTS, and Warcraft is also an RTS.. with different mechanics and units and heroes. Why have two updated RTS games on the market at the same time? I guess there are enough differences to justify a fourth game, and WCIV will happen at least 5 years after the release of SCII, but with the advent of the SCII Galaxy Editor, you'll be able to almost recreate WCIV's world when the latter rolls out. That's somewhat disturbing.
Also, look at what's happened to WCIII's online scene: you might as well call the game DotAcraft... Custom maps are a big part of the Starcraft experience for me, unfortunately not many people play anything besides one map in Warcraft...
