Well there's already been one Romulan-Klingon Alliance early on in the TOS era.

Also since the Empire's government is no longer around (or rather in Iconian hands...*cough*Sela*cough*) I find it plausible that such an alliance could happen again. But yeah I think it's all rather interesting.
Edit: Looks like Dan responded to the WoW/Pandaren thing. I guess enough people were bringing it up.

The Romulan-Klingon Alliance was an alliance between the Romulan Star Empire and the Klingon Empire during the 23rd century. Such an alliance was evidenced in 2267 when Romulans engaged the USS Enterprise using Klingon-designed D7-class battle cruisers. (TOS: "The Enterprise Incident").
This alliance had come to an end by 2292, when the Klingons and the Romulans became "blood enemies". (TNG: "Reunion")

Unlike your reference of Pandaran in WOW, Romulans have their own exclusive new ship class and combat mechanic, their own exclusive storyline and episodes, their own exclusive costumes, ther own exclusive ship costumes, and a leveling experience that is very similar to what the Feds had a launch prior to all the Feature Episode Series and not limited to just the 1-10 "starting area" like Pandaran are. Romulans have far more exlusive content than that, and the fact that we then give you all of the stuff from your chosen ally gives you twice as much which is the "best of two worlds" idea.
The only non-exclusive content that the Romulans play are the Feature Episode series (which are designed to be playable by any faction) and end game content which is also designed to be played by any faction. If you don't want to go play your allies missions after you've finished your exclusive storyline, then don't go play them. You can play without them. If you want the exclusive gear from Starbases, STFS, Reps, etc, then you'll have to play the missions that grant them just like everyone else. You aren't any different than the existing factions in that regard.
