Well, in your case it's definitely a CPU bottleneck. In my case I just gradually increased settings and when I'm turning antialiasing to highest possible setting, my FPS drops a bit below 60 (to 50+) and GPU is loaded by 100% according to task manager, so I suppose that it was a GPU bottleneck. I'm playing with mostly ultra settings but not highest antialiasing, it provides 60 FPS for most single-player scenarios and GPU is loaded at 80-90%. Of course in raids and dungeons FPS might drop below 30 and that is CPU bottleneck indeed, can't do anything here. My friend recently bought 9900K and 2080 and experiencing FPS drops in raids, it's almost funny.

I get 200 fps in the open world with everything on ultra and view distance set to max. I get 30-40 in certain areas like Org. The issue is that the timewalking dungeons from BC are especially old and there was something odd going on with them this week - almost everyone I ran with complained of a similar issue.
