My "unnamed sources" (aka me) says this has to drop 1st quarter to mid year 2010. No way do I see it being over two years between expansions especially as they have repeatedly said they don't want that to happen (and presumably fixed their task scheduling to avoid another Sunwell). And as they are putting in only five levels and re-using a lot of content I don't see how it could happen.

My theory is Ony will land just before the fifth anniversary and hand out welfare epics like a pinanta drops candy so everyone is geared for IC (fine with me, only way half the people in my guild will get geared). IC will land soon after and after three - four months we will have Cataclysm.

I also think that even allowing IC to have its full run may not be needed. With only going to 85 I am suspicious they won't add in a "super heroic" IC and have us spending the early part of the expansion still killing Arthas. That and a few new Ony style bosses will do until they finish the real raid content.
