Ahoy!
If you are running mods from 0.9.7 and having problems, try removing those mods and relaunch the client.
Some mods aren't updated regularly with each update so they may cause problems with the game.

Connection issues aren't as simple as they seem. Your ISP can reroute your connection to WoWs servers through a bad that might have high latency or packet loss. The very same thing can happen with any other MMOs or web service that you use. If there would be any issues on WoWs server side, this thread would have hundreds of replies since it would affect many other players.
Feel free to use Pingplotter to test your connection and get extensive information on where exactly this issue appears.
