This guide is for anyone who wants to emulate or otherwise represent the heroes they love in Hearthstone, but within World of Warcraft.
HUNTER WEAPONS Eaglehorn Bow - Despite sharing a similar name with Eaglehorn Long Bow in WoW, this card actually uses the TCG art for Striker's Mark and has the same model as the in-WoW weapon, which is looted from Magmadar in the Molten Core. Gladiator's Longbow - Although named as a "longbow," it actually uses the same TCG art (and in-WoW model) for Merciless Gladiator's Crossbow of the Phoenix, sold by Kezzik the Striker at Area 52 in the Netherstorm.
PALADIN WEAPONS Light's Justice - Same art, name, and model in both the WoW TCG & MMORPG. It represents itself. Found by any brave soul willing to take on Prince Malchezaar in Karazhan. Sword of Justice - Another weapon that represents itself. Looted from the Tribunal Chest after achieving victory against the Tribunal of the Ages, in the Halls of Stone, in Ulduar. Truesilver Champion - Although there be a sword of the same name & having an effect in a similar vein, this weapon actually takes it art from the TCG card for the in-WoW two-hander known as Destiny. Have fun in Blackrock, it's the best place to start looking, from what I hear. Ashbringer - This truly legendary weapon is not available to players on Blizzard servers in WoW, but its corrupted twin is still up for grabs in the TCG.
ROGUE WEAPONS Assassin's Blade - Hardly looks a thing like the dagger of the same name in WoW. This weapon's model is pulled from the TCG art for Emerald Ripper, which is dropped in WoW by Moroes in Karazhan. Hopefully you can pick it up on your way to get to Malchezaar. Perdition's Blade - Is another weapon the represents itself in all ways, and even gets a mention in the popular Elite Tauren Chieftain song, "Rogues Do it from Behind." Go the Molten Core, kill Ragnaros, and hope you win the roll for it. Wicked Knife - Has no in-WoW or TCG equivalent that I've yet been able to find. Feel free to comment if you find it. Equipped in Hearthstone using Valeera's hero power.
SHAMAN WEAPONS Doomhammer - This much-famed, much-rallied-to, and much-loved weapon of Warcraft legend is not available to players in the MMORPG. But IS available (albeit with different art) as a weapon in the WoW TCG, along with the honored Orgrim Doomhammer himself as an ally. Stormforged Axe - Shares the same name and overall color-scheme as the axe in WoW that bears the same name, but its appearance is actually taken from the TCG art for the in-WoW weapon known to all as Lightning Whelk Axe, dropped by Lady Naz'jar at the Throne of the Tides.
WARLOCK WEAPON Blood Fury - Only available to Horde players and not at all available to clothies, this axe drops from Lord Jaraxxus, Eredar Lord of the Burning Legion, at the Trial of the Crusader in Northrend. Right about here is where I think I can safely say that Lord Jaraxxus is just one heck of a mean and spiteful bloke.
WARRIOR WEAPONS Arcanite Reaper - In WoW, in Hearthstone, and the TCG this is THE Arcanite Reaper, crafted from [Plans: Arcanite Reaper], which are dropped by Bannok Grimaxe in Blackrock Spire. Battle Axe - Looks nothing at all like the weapon in WoW of the same name, but is instead identical to the Fel Iron Hatchet, which is crafted from Fel Iron Hatchet recipe that blacksmiths train in WoW. Fiery War Axe - Could actually pass itself off as the in-WoW weapon of the same name that exists, but it would be a disservice not to mention that the art for this card is the same art used for the Axe of Grounded Flame from the TCG, which in WoW is a quest reward from The Return of Baron Geddon. Have fun while you're visiting Mount Hyjal! Gorehowl - The axe of the well-remembered Grommash Hellscream is yet another reason to storm Karazhan and pry it from Prince Malchezaar's dead demon fingers. Heavy Axe - The only other weapon that I have found no existing in-WoW or TCG equivalent for.
And last, but never least, though we never get to play as him, we all know where to find any of two Warglaive of Azzinoths to make up the set of Dual Warglaives that Illidan Stormrage wields with great panache. The Twin Blades of Azzinoth are yours for the taking in the World of Warcraft from the big bad boss himself, at the Black Temple in Shadowmoon Valley... That is, if you are prepared and things don't get out of control.
Will be funny dueling against people who use crappy weapons, just for "roleplaying" :P
Oh, Light save us all! XD Hearthstone roleplayers in World of Warcraft, that'll be a riot! I can hardly wait to see the screenshots sure to follow, hee hee. EDIT: Should note that I have absolutely nothing against casual roleplay in good fun.
I guess Gul'dan would wear either the purple/blue or brownish/orange Dark Coven set as his gear, since they seem to look most like what he's wearing. No idea what weapons he has in the art they used though. =/
I'll never get to RP as Gul'dan from Hearthstone though, since my Orc lock is female, and my main is Human. I could possibly RP as a hot, female Gul'dan, but yeah, NOPE.

If you see a bad post on the forum use the report function under it, so I or someone else of the moderation team can take care of it!
Yeah for those who can actually USE their class weapons *grumble grumble stupid axe on a Warlock*
WAIT!.... You DO have a usable weapon for warlocks, it's called LORD JARAXXUS!
Yes, and I would give 1 MILLION gold if I could be a large, red skinned Demon Lord Warlock that summons Infernals by the boatload and can use a freaking axe, in World of Warcraft.
Sadly this is not one of the race options.
Untill then I'll just stick to being a puny Human warlock grumbeling about not being able to transmog an axe as a weapon. :P

Currently I'm in the process of editing my original post for submission for consideration as a vanity guide on wowhead.com. It's a link/url cut & paste NIGHTMARE but I'm doing it anyway. Even if it doesn't make the cut, though, I posted it first for the folks that matter most. <3
EDIT: Submitted, and now waiting for approval. *cross fingers*
UPDATE! One of the commenters on my guide on the Wowhead site found some in-WoW look-a-likes for Wicked Knife and Heavy Axe. The comment was made by XargonDragon
The Wicked Knife looks exactly like Bloodsipper from 10m normal ICC. Also, the Heavy Axe looks to be the same model as Nethergarde Broadaxe, though in an unobtainable skin.

Thank you very much! :) I had fun investigating and putting it together, and even though it took a few hours, I think it was worthwhile.
I can absolutely empathize.
Oh, Light save us all! XD
