TheWoWDBAccording to the records of what your future self says on Wowwiki, its most likely that they will give your future self much better armor and weapons. Here they are anyway:
Future You whispers: Hey there, <name>, don't be alarmed. It's me... you... from the future. I'm here to help.
Future You whispers: Heads up... here they come. I'll help as much as I can. Let's just keep them off the hourglass!
Future You whispers: No matter what, you can't die, because would mean that I would cease to exist, right? But, I was here before when I was you. I'm so confused!
Future You whispers: Look at you fight; no wonder I turned to drinking.
Future You whispers: I can't believe that I used to wear that.
Future You whispers: Listen. I'm not supposed to tell you this, but there's going to be this party that you're invited to. Whatever you do, DO NOT DRINK THE PUNCH!
Future You whispers: Look, <name>, the hourglass has revealed Nozdormu!
Future You whispers: Farewell, <name>. Keep us alive and get some better equipment!
Quest
Mystery of the Infinite
A World of Warcraft quest in Dragonblight. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.

I love how my future self (a mage) complains about how inexperienced I am while stabbing the mobs with his dagger and refusing to cast any spells at all :S... Back to Tirisfal with you!
The quest seems to imply that Nozdormu is secretly the leader of the Infinite Dragonflight.
Speculation is that since Nozdormu is "gifted" with the knowledge of where he will die, when he will die, and how he will die, he has created the Infinite Dragonflight in order to change events in Azeroth's history so that it will never come to pass. Of course, as every little children's movie about time travel tells us, fate will find a way to do away with him eventually.
I personally hope that Nozdormu isn't the leader of the Infinites, but you can't deny it'd make one nice plot point.

Description
A time storm at the Bronze Dragonshrine to the northeast is keeping immortals from entering. The Infinite Dragonflight are in a fight inside with the defenders to wrest control of the dragonshrine. We must take this opportunity to gain information. You are not immortal. You can cross into the dragonshrine and use the Hourglass of Eternity. Protect the hourglass for long enough and the leader of the Infinite Dragonflight should be revealed. Be warned, the Infinite Dragonflight will try to stop you!

There you are! Or, were we just talking? <Chromie muses over the temporal possibilities.> Anyway, the Infinites are after you! Well, not you per-se. Rather, they're after the past version of you that defended the Hourglass of Eternity. You remember, right?
