There´s no way you can play wow smooth. Simply you wont LOL! I dont want to troll you, thats a sad true, with an i5 3570k overclocked at 4.5ghz and a HD6950 2GB overclocked also, i get in sometimes over 80pfs, but in raids my PC knees to 15pfs on a heavy fight. Why? WOW is one on the worst optimize games, something that will cut down your fps will be instances zones like pandaria, timeless isle, even the gate of ogrimmar where multiple realms share the zone, you will see your pc suffer. Playing at very low or at ultra dont fix the problem, is the game.

Everything you should look at is having better GPU (that GTX 550ti is one on the worst GPU for the money of all history) and pay a very good, low latency internet.

wow doesnt take much, but i think you would be pushing it to go with ultra setting with that set up.
1st i would try to upgrade the GPU to a GTX 650 ti BOOST or a 7850...its about a $150 upgrade
also i would add 4GB RAM

Yup, kinda agree with you, with some of the zones that you mentioned , it really does bring down the fps as low as 15 fps and even 10 sometimes when there are many people, mobs and game objects in that place. I guess upgrading the GPU will be a good idea. Although overclocking is not my cup of tea.

At that resolution, your graphics card is not likely the issue. You mention it happens during raids/pvp/etc when there are many other players and CPU-intensive calculations happening. Turn down your graphics settings and see if you still have the issue. A CPU upgrade would do you more good in that case.
