I have a Dual 2.0 with the crap video card (6600LE 128MB) pushing WoW on a 30" monitor. It's dreadfully slow and I've disabled most every option I can. I only get above 20FPS in indoor areas.

I'm considering getting my hands on a 7800 but I'd like to know to what extent that will address the issue.

Does anyone have a 7800 in their Dual Core powermac who can share some performance numbers? Apple's only indication is here:

Thanks!

You can expect very nice performance. I'm not sure about running it native-res of the 30", but definitely 1900x1200 with everything turned on.
