So, I was able to get a working client. I tried everything I found online to try to fix the error but nothing was working. I ended up just downloading a different Cata client. I think the original I was using was a Run & Play from MonsterWow's site, but the new one is from Wowmortal's site. The WoW.mfil files do appear to be different for each of those clients. Not sure if that helps any, but that's what I did.

not sure about mac, but if your client is full client on windows you can remove wow.mfil check (ill post exe and how to do it urself later)

I never realized the client still made a call out to blizzard like this. Is there a way to circumvent this or emulate the blizzard service (if that's what it is)?

Yes but it would require a lot of money (due to lots of data 20 GB per each person who downloads the client!).
But you can make a private one, by hosting the MPQ on some server and changing your hosts file in windows, or editing the client. I did something similar in mop

Maybe we'll migrate to MoP when you debut the prize!
Of course, then I'll have to learn how to migrate characters! Haha, so much to learn. Good thing it's fun!Thanks for helping Jack Sparrow

Well, my Mac clients are now working. I replaced all the *.MPQ files in the Data folder, as well as the whole enGB directory with copies from my windows client.
I don't know why that worked except perhaps some of the .MPQ files corrupted.
Discovery: before the error msg it stops on a file, world.MPQ. So I first replaced that one file, and realized it would load past that file the next time. So I replaced the next, then another, so I just replaced them all instead of being ... precise.
So if you have a Mac client due to the same issue as this, try copying the Data folder from a working client and try again. Very strange, but it worked for me. Good luck.
I don't know how to prevent this from happening again, or how to stop the client from calling home (Blizzard).
Edit: spelling.
