Instead of taking a full dictionary and cleaning out words, you could just use a smaller dictionary that has already been screened for offensive words.
One option is a list of English words from the Bible. This will include many names, but dictionaries tend to contain many obscure scientific terms too.
Alternatively, use one of many pre-compiled lists of "dirty words" and write a script to remove them from your existing dictionary.
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~biglou/resources/bad-words.txt is a list of 1,300 such words. All of the words Blizzard cited as being offensive are in this list. I would say that if you removed all of these words, and any words with these derivations (words beginning with the same letters as those in this list), you should be safe. If Blizzard still bans your map as a result of an offensive word not in this list, then I don't know what to say to them.
