After looking through gx.log from WoW it seems that sunshafts and higher liquid details require special texture formats to work and one of them (INTZ) was added to Wine a few days ago (commit f0b0c1b1dddf606177651deb45c0afd6259076aa). This means that the next Wine version (1.3.7) should enable those features for most people using d3d9.
Unfortunately, using Wine 1.3.6-240-g791b22a, I still end up with no water at all (Liquid Detail: Good/Ultra).
gx.log contains the following regarding the INTZ texture format:
Preparing to create sample-able depth buffer texture: DepthCache is supported! Format: INTZ FormatResolve: Unknown
May I ask which graphics card you are using? It seems to me that this bug affects people in a different way, depending on graphics card. I could be wrong of course.
