I would be curious to see what the screen cap standing in the exact same spot, same camera, same view looked like between the two resolutions. I would be surprised if the 1080 shot showed less horizontally than the 1200 did.

It would be an interesting experiment.
Attached a couple of shots with the 2 different res's, as you say you get more out of the horizontal in 1080 than with 1200, first one being 1920x1200 and second being 1920x1080. You can't actually see my problem from the screenshots, I will try explain.

Its not so much an issue with screen space with WoW but rather a hardware issue. My screens native res is 1920x1200 and at that res it fits into all the available screen perfectly. In 1920x1080 I get a black border around the edges which would be ok if I could resize my screen via the buttons at the bottom but I guess with using a HDMI connection it thinks it knows best and won't let me.

So thats my real issue with using any res other than 1920x1200, its my actual hardware and not WoW that makes it look funny. Just didn't want to bore you with the details but mweh
