DXT2 and DXT4 are identical to DXT3 and DXT5, respectively, save that pixel data winds up being premultiplied by alpha -- that is, each RGBA pixel is not represented by (r, g, b, a) but instead by (ar, ag, ab, a) where all values are normalised to lie between 0 and 1.  World of Warcraft does not use these formats.
