You can go with a single install of warcraft.
And then copy/paste the entire folder, for as many copies as you'd like.
Don't play the root/parent account.
But have one copy for each activity that is different.

Each copy can have variable settings, such as sound enabled/disabled.
Graphics off/low for boxing, and cranked for raiding.
You can even go, medium settings (wow1) for tank/driver toon, and minimal (wow2) for the others, when you box.

I would recommend you delete the Cache, Data and Interface folders, from each of the copies.
And then symlink them from the parent game.

If you go with symbolic links, you'll want to break the links on patch day.
Then patch the parent folder.
Redo the links.
And copy the wow.exe file from the patched folder to each copy folder.

A handly tool for symbolic links can be found here, it was clean of viruses when I used it in the past, but I'd recommend a scan: Link Shell Extension

I either just update each WoW (for small baby patches) or 1 and then recopy it for big patches.

I do this as well.
