The engineering trainer in Duskwood, Finbus Geargrind (http://www.wowhead.com/npc=1676/finbus-geargrind), has some real trollzy shenanigans going on.

All of his training icons are replaced with the picture of some pixelated, creepy dude smiling

Nostalrius easter egg? Does this mystery man say "grind my gears" so much that the devs planned this ultimate troll?

Enlarged by 500x just to really haunt your dreams

"his face is also seen in as an icon for spells and abilities that do not have an image associated with them (see top left). For instance, several spells cast by quest givers use this icon. Since they are not "real" spells, they use this as the icon."

Oh I had no idea this was an official icon. That's really cool of a company to immortalize a person who put so much into the game series, good on you Blizzard :)
