There are two methods. One involved adding an extra line to one of the ini files, but WoW overwrote my change for some reason. The other was adding a parameter to the WoW executable. I found it on the Prophecy forums in the 4.0.1 patch notes.
I didn't notice any immediate differences, but I didn't look too closely. One thing I did notice is when I alt-tabbed out of the game the last drawn image from the game will remain. I had to switch to another running program (FireFox) to replace it, so I disabled Dx11 again.

The noticeably differences are shore line water rendering, sand storm particle effects,slight changes to the water rendering with ripple effects, thou the water lacks caustics, god rays, and some other effects that make it look realistic. Also with DX11 enabled your reflection is alot more detailed against water bodies. Lighting is also better, sun shafts look superior with it enabled. So there is quite a bit of difference if you look for it.
