Is this what you were looking for?

Are you playing WoW fullscreen or windowed? Or a borderless window?

And, another thing:
20:35:56: max bitrate: 4000
20:35:56: buffer size: 4000
20:35:56: quality: 10
... just, no. First of all, Q-10 is wasted on streaming. While streaming you cannot avoid a certain quality loss, Q-10 will not solve that and will only serve to cost you valuable performance and bandwidth. Secondly, 4000 Kbps? No, again. The Twitch.TV staff frowns heavily upon anyone going over 3500 Kbps and personally I have streamed WoW in 720p @ 60 FPS just fine at 2500 Kbps. And, I'd stick with CBR if I were you. If you have the bandwidth to spare, which I'm assuming you do, you'll improve the general stability of your stream immensely by using CBR as opposed to VBR.

Truthfully, not sure why that's at 4000. The 10 I will lower a bit, and I will drop the others to about 2500.

I have WoW in fullscreen.

When you tab out of a fullscreen game, it stops rendering since it would be useless to continue under normal circumstances. OBS will show the last received frame until it starts rendering again.
