OK, since this seems to be a "friendly" thread, about a few noob questions, I have one to throw out! How will the expansion packs and/or the WOWLK update effect current play? I've thought about updating / expanding, but will I need to start another character, or will the changes just addapt to the character im playing. Will it be a whole new world with new towns to learn, or will it just be modifications to what we already have?
The changes will all adapt to the character you're playing. Also, all of the new Northrend content is only available on a brand new continent that can be accessed once you reach the high 60's, so the current "world" won't be modified terribly much. (There are a few exceptions, like moving Dalaran, and King Varian Wrynn returning to Stormwind.) If you're worried about missing out on something because you're leveling now and not during the expansion, you needn't be.
Also, there will be a patch before the expansion even releases to adapt most of the game to the changes.

Should I "master" the current version first, OR just go ahead and start from scratch with a new toon in the new LK game?
A lot of things are going to be turned upside down with the new version, but those who adapt quickest are going to be those who have already played the longest. If you're new to the game I recommend you keep playing to get a general feel for it.

Also, if I could ask 1 that already seems obvious??? I just started a new shaman last night before researching it much ...... I didnt go with a tauren (I opted for the "casting speed" trait) should I re-roll before I get too far? Is a tauren (warstomp) that big of an advantage? Yep --- im a Noob! LOL
If all you care about is PvE--conquering the scripted AI encounters in the game along with other players--then it honestly doesn't matter. Most racial abilities, especially the active racial abilities, have an extremely minute effect on PvE. If it's PvP combat you care about--besting your fellow players in a fight--then yes, Warstomp really is
that big of an advantage and is worth re-rolling for unless you want to play Alliance or you have some kind of aversion to Tauren.
