Have you actually looked at the dwarf lady, or are you just repeating something someone else said? There's a huge difference between "similar body type" and "same skeleton".
The other thing is... they're not only redoing all of the races (excluding goblins/worgen) to add more bones for the monk animations, but it would be more work for them to start from an already existing skeleton.
I'm not saying it's perfect or that it will be amazing. Just... it's way too early to tell.
