This icon oddly reminds me of this style: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/icons-541/btnstop-160384/?prev=search=cancel&d=list&r=20, which means that it lacks shadows and highlights, as well as definitions. Your icon is way too bright, and even after you applied correct bordering to get the Warcraft Feeling, it stands out too much. The background should be black, not gray, since it just kills the icon even more, and it's very plain in the icon's center. I would like to see a more texture on the icon itself, since it's just a yellow circle with some weird shadows all over it. If you want shine, better use soft brushes with low opacity, rather than spam of white color all over the place.

Also, use continuos moves of White and Dark Yellow colors (never black, always darker colors) in a circular motion, in order to get some light source and shadows which are nonexistent on this icon.

Edit: Oh, and you should change the name to something else, since this will replace the original Stop icon, which someone might need, if it's imported correctly.
