"Yazneg is the character John Rawls is now playing in the hobbit films. He is no longer playing Azog."
That is my understanding as well. In addition, I don't know if the role of Azog is still featured in the film(s) at all.

The webmaster of herr-der-ringe-film.de got word that those descriptions are indeed official, coming from WB.

This also checks out with the picture from the Bridge Direct figure here:

From what it's possible to make out, the description of Bilbo in the pic above seems similar to the one included in this list...so that would give some credence to it as well.
My Top 5 Wish List for "The Hobbit"
5. Legolas will surf down Smaug's neck
4. Bilbo will be revealed to a Robot
3. Naked PJ cameo as Ghan-Buri-Ghan
2. Use of not only 3D, but smell-o-vision, plus the inclusion of axes coming out of the seats and poking the audience when appropriate
1. Not only keep the claim that Thorin & Co. ran amok in Mirkwood "molesting people", but depict said incident in vivid detail!!!!!

At least now we know we aren't wasting time on rumors only.

What if the Azanulbizar scene of Dain killing Azog has not been filmed, and it is some of the "additional material from the appendices" that Peter Jackson realized in hindsight was important that he now plans to film next year?

could be. If he wants to flesh out the dwarves/ goblins war then that would be one way to do it. Only thing is, Thror has been cast for a long time. Now the only way to get him in there is to show his death because that, aside from a brief appearance when Smaug first attacks, is all Thror has to do with things.
So Frodo Baggins boarded the great ship and passed on into the west till the sweet fragrance on the air filled his sense and the sound of singing came over the water. Then it seemed to him that, as in a dream, he beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country. The third age of Middle Earth was over, the days of the Rings had passed and the story and song of those times was at an end.

In fact, if I remember correctly, we read about Azog in the movie even before we got word about Bolg. If nothing else, that shows that including Azog was not an afterthought.

More likely character descriptions
[In reply to]

The title of the original post is "Ein Überblick über die Figuren," or an overview of the "figures." In German, Figur (plural- Figuren) is commonly used to refer to characters, as in a novel or a movie. I doubt that these refer to manufactured figurines, as the page contains no information regarding a manufacturer, specifications, availability, etc... Also, the tags associated with the post do not contain any refererences to collectibles or figurines, but rather the names of the characters, the author and the book.
Subsequent posts have indicated some form of confirmation from WB. In either case these appear to be at least presented as character descriptions.

Funnier was the similar slip in Dori's description
[In reply to]

Considering that "Dori" is in modern times thought of as more of a female name, I thought this was rather humorous:
Dori is the strongest dwarf in the crowd, and spends most of her time taking care of Ori, the youngest, so that is not cold or killed by the Orcs and Wargs.
For a while I thought maybe they would go so far as to actually make one of the thirteen dwarves a dwarfette, so this caught me off guard momentarily. (I'm still not sure about pretty-boys Fili & Kili).
And then there's the bit about Gloin's wife being a "famous beauty with a very fine beard." Does that lend credence to the theory that this depicts a portrait of Gimli's mum?
"The Naugrim were ever, as they still remain, short and squat in stature; they were deep-breasted, strong in the arm, and stout in the leg, and their snouts were long. Indeed this strangeness they have that no Man nor Elf has ever seen a snoutless Dwarf - unless he were rhinoplasted in mockery, and would then be more like to die of shame than of many other hurts that to us would seem more deadly. For the Naugrim have snouts from the beginning of their lives, male and female alike..." (History of Middle Earth, volume 11, The War of the Truffles, p. 205)
