i think we should think of the first 2 only the last one probably would be out of WOW universe, just like Kobolds and Catacombs and league of explorers and gadgetzan.
2nd is Ethereals and Nether no doubt. The circle with those small circles beneath it confirms it. The first one resembles a corrupted forest, Trisfal Glades, Shadowpine Forest, Ghostlands, Duskwood, Felwood, Terokkar forest. I have no idea, it also can be the Well of Eternity and the World tree, which would be cool.
The last one can be Naga, Trolls or pirates. I don't think pirates because they need brighter colours I guess. That red with blue remind me of Vol'Jin and Sen'jin trolls. Those white markings beneath the circle look like teeth and something a troll would paint itself with. On the other hand those small 2 hooks beneath the circle are too pretty and well organised compared to trolls which are more filthy and primitive. We have to wait 9 months for that one. But now, let's get HYPED, next week we will learn where we will go.
I know almost nothing about WOW lore, but from what I can see the first one looks like a dark forest, night elves?
Second one, I have no idea, could be some sort of hellish magic maybe, or darkmoon faire, they teased us about darkmoon faire, and obviously the first expansion isn't that, second expansion looks like it could be it.
For the third expansion I really have no idea, looks tribal, perhaps something to do with shamanism?
W1. Although i'd love it to be duskwood (or any forest, next to Duskwood Hyjal seems most likely), probally a Druid themed expansion. (also makes sence with the new hero portrait.) Or as last guess maybe the Darkmoon Faire, unlikely though but it gives me that sort of vibe. Edit: If it were Emerald Dream i'd think the branches would've been more lifely, just my guess though. I also can't see them make an enire expansion out of something we have barely ever seen and has only been referenced in WoW, (though this reminded me of the Everbloom, probally 0 chance though because of the reasons above.)
2. I personally think Outland, or maybe something more specific (Netherstorm), or maybe even very specific like arcatraz. (or they'll make an entire expansion about ethereals like everyone says here... Please don't Blizz...)
3. Could be anything. The Orb inside makes me think about the sea but pirate expansion is unlikely. (RIP Booty Bay expansion) The outlines seemed tribal to me so something Troll themed would be cool which is nice since we don't have all that much of those. So either Troll themed like Zandalar or the entirety of Stranglethorn which i'm hoping for. The red little stones around it could also resemble something Naga-Themed though.
Out of these i've got to get one of them right i hope...
I think it may be the Ghostlands or Deadwind pass. Duskwood doesn't fit because WotOG kinda took place there ( Steward of Darkshire ,Darkshire Councilman,etc.). Deadwind pass would make sense also because of the Karazhan Tower. Year of the Kraken started on an Old God theme, Year of the Mamoth started on a jungle theme, so Old Karazhan would fit the raven theme (Medivh). A sort of Return to Karazhan like the WoW dungeon would be cool, and would contrast great with the cheery atmosphere of One knight in Karazhan. Probably dark like KotFT and WotOG
2. Arcane constructs
Thisk looks a lot like the Manaforges in the Netherstorm. Maybe it will be an outworld expansion with etherals and blood elfs or draenai. Probably themed around unstable magic or wild power.
3. Troll stuff?
It kinda looks like tribal troll decoration. Maybe we get another expansion in a jungle area with tribal stuff with da vodoo stuff man. The crystal thing in the center looks the same as the first one but that probably is accidental. There are many troll zones we could get. From Northrend (probably not) to Stranglethorn Vale.
1) My bet on something related to Arakkoa. The Symbol of the year is always somehow related to 1st expansion (Old Gods - Tentacles - Kraken; Un'Goro - Prehistoric Species - Mammoth) and Raven is quite related to Arakkoas, since the other obvious reference (Medievh) already has an expansion 2) It really reminds me of Netherstorm, specificaly of Arcatraz. Come on, we need Kael in the game) 3) I really wanna believe that its Well of Eternity. One of my favorite dungeons of all time
I think it'll be an Outlands focused expansion (all 3 sets).
2 is almost certain to be at least Netherstorm or Tempest Keep, which hopefully opens up the possibility for Prince Kael'thas. His Council was also pretty awesome and could fit with the theme of the princes from KFT.
Also, there were Legendary weapons in the Kael'thas fight as well! So it's almost certain we're getting more weapons!
I think 1 with this "haunted forest" look might be Terokkar Forest. Remember that it's the year of the Raven and ravens were primarily found in Terokkar (the arakkoa) around Shattrath city.
Number three looks sea related and the orb looks like a mushroom so it could be Zangarmarsh... which means Serpentshrine Caverns and Lady Vashj!
It all coincides with the Illidan animation change, and the old gang back together Illidan, Kael'thas and Vashj.

The Year of the Raven will see three new expansions! What could they be? Discuss.
My personal, and likely very wrong guesses are:
1: Duskwood
2: Ethereals
3: Booty Bay, or Azshara
EDIT: Some quality suggestions from below:
1: Trisfal Glades, Shadowpine Forest, Ghostlands, Felwood, Terokkar forest
2: Netherstorm, Arcatraz
3: Naga, Darkspear Trolls
#1 isn't the Emerald Dream you guys. The Emerald Dream is far too vibrant.

2nd picture - maybe you are right. I kinda see it as the eco-dome in Netherstorm. Or maybe an expansion around Netherstorm itself.
1. Emerald Dream
2. Netherstorm
3. Troll based
I hope it's Netherstorm. I loved Netherstorm in WOW and perhaps that means we can get the man himself as a legendary card: Prince Kael'Thas.
2nd is Ethereals and Nether no doubt. The circle with those small circles beneath it confirms it. The first one resembles a corrupted forest, Trisfal Glades, Shadowpine Forest, Ghostlands, Duskwood, Felwood, Terokkar forest. I have no idea, it also can be the Well of Eternity and the World tree, which would be cool.

Don't mind me just passing by
A Emerald portal for reference, i dont think it is the first one
1. I think this realy reminds me on emerald dream also with this Dali style dream effect i realy call on emerald dream
2. Eathereals use exactly those in netherstorm and elsewere were they are most likely Nexxus Prinz Saraad gets some friends.
3. Nazjatar/Naga inspired set underwater coral style inspired card back
Expansion 1: Those branches look kinda dark and sinister. Maybe Duskwood / Isle of Thunder ( the bluish theme also kinda matches )
Expansion 2: That really looks like Netherstorm or something with Eathereals.
Expansion 3: That paint at bottom seems tribal to me...maybe trolls / orcs / ogres or something.
Expansion 1 - Emerald Dream/Nightmare (I think the new Druid hero is coming when this hits, so that's why i'm thinking it's a Druid related expansion)
Expansion 2 - Netherstorm/Etherals
Expansion 3 - Some wacky tribal themed thing.
The first one resembles a portal ( Emerald dream ).
The second one resembles a portal ( Ethereal portal ) .
The third expansion each year is out of WOW universe, but mostly it will be a portal.
im not a wow geek but can anyone say what the last portal resembles ? because the first 2 expansions on the picture shows a portal.

an image from netherstorm certainly a main contender
It
FOR THE HORDE!
Just got to remind people there is a raven hill in duskwood
1. Dark roots and mystic crystal thingy
I think it may be the Ghostlands or Deadwind pass. Duskwood doesn't fit because WotOG kinda took place there ( Steward of Darkshire ,Darkshire Councilman,etc.). Deadwind pass would make sense also because of the Karazhan Tower. Year of the Kraken started on an Old God theme, Year of the Mamoth started on a jungle theme, so Old Karazhan would fit the raven theme (Medivh).

The crystal thing in the center looks the same as the first one but that probably is accidental. There are many troll zones we could get. From Northrend (probably not) to Stranglethorn Vale.
I wouldn't bet any of the expansions following a single warcraft "theme" except for the ones that reference raids/adventures.
#1 Drustvar + Emerald Dream + Duskwood theme
#2 Tempest Keep adventure
#3 Island theme (Un'Goro was already a jungle theme so I think that the ocean will somehow be involved)
1) My bet on something related to Arakkoa. The Symbol of the year is always somehow related to 1st expansion (Old Gods - Tentacles - Kraken; Un'Goro - Prehistoric Species - Mammoth) and Raven is quite related to Arakkoas, since the other obvious reference (Medievh) already has an expansion
