Default Jump in fps

Ok, so here is the issue.
I am a wow player (yes, dont bash it) and I have been one since release.
However, sometimes my fps goes from a steady 30-60 to like 3-4 and then it bounces up after say 2-3 min.
Now, this is my laptop.

I know the nVidia card isn't exactly for gaming, but it works and it should surely work better than that, right?
Now, I have been going over the drivers and I have tried to update as many of them as I could, but I'm not sure I have gotten them all. Seriously, am I just blind or is it difficult finding the right drivers..
I have also been thinking that it could be a heating problem, but I just dont know how to fix it if it is.
Could it be a process in the background suddenly does a refresh of itself or something?

This problem is torture, seeing as I can't play the game I love.. (I'm a hardcore raider so it is excruciating).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
