Thanks for the input guys. So is the answer really just do a generic reverse engineering course? Then somehow apply that on wow?

not exactly. Wow is a special case as Blizz did invest quite a bit into obfuscation, especially during Cataclysm and MoP (they randomized the everliving shit out of packets). It was until WoD when they returned to proper structs and conviniently leaked a very specific build during that time that enabled us to catch up again

Yeah, I saw that since in Cata and MoP the packet structures are absolutely abysmal. I assume they returned to cleaner structures because they figured obfuscation is still not gonna stop developing emulators?

Or they just didn't care anymore

They simply did not care, it was an experiment as far as I know

given how much more advanced even just phasing alone got, they seem to be right not to care

It has nothing to do with phasing

more work for blizz to pay for when no ps is putting in the work to emulate anything that complex
