Wowhead Client + Desktop App?

I used to exclusively, for years, use the Wowhead Client 'Launch WoW' button to start WoW. Now that I've been playing Hearthstone I have the Desktop App, which I actually prefer if not just because of the 'Play' button and auto-login feature.
Anyways, when I click 'Launch WoW' in the client it tries opening something called the 'Blizzard Launcher' and updates for eternity. How do I make it so when I press 'Launch WoW' it starts the Blizzard Desktop App instead of this Blizzard Launcher thing?
I have looked in the Clients settings and I can't find any option at all to change what I want the launch button to do. All I can choose is the files locations for Beta, Live and PTR for data uploads.
Thanks for the help!
P.s.
If it helps: Windows 8.1 64bit

The Blizzard Launcher is the new set up. You can still upload info from the Wowhead client, but you'll always go to the Launcher whenever you try to start the game.

the blizzard desktop app is still a beta one and will not allow you to go to the public test realm. I have it and if I want to beta test the new Warlords of Draenor I have to take the app off because it will not recognize the public test realm.

That is nonsense bordering to fear mongering. I have used the Desktop App for the 5.4 PTR, just like I am currently able to access the login screen of the otherwise unavailable WoD Beta, but I don't doubt that once I have beta access, it will allow me to use the Beta without issue.
If you have issues, it doesn't mean that everyone would have issues.

Um...the Beta client isn't open yet; so if you are looking at the Alpha sand box, which is not recognized, that would be why. But as Nulgar said, you can access the PTR from the Launcher without any problems.
