A little bit of analysis about the schedule after the break.
Patch 3.3 is the last major patch of Wrath of the Lich King. With the new Icecrown Citadel 5-man dungeons and 10/25-man raid arriving soon, patch 3.3 will deal the final blow to the Arthas. WoW.com's Guide to Patch 3.3 will keep you updated with all the latest patch news.As you can see, Blizzard is going to re-test some encounters, including the Gunship battle, Marrowgar, Festergut, and Rotface.
The four new fights were all mentioned in the Icecrown raid preview -- Sindragosa is the big frostwrym seen on the login screen that Arthas summoned in the Wrath cinematic, Valithria Dreamwalker is a green dragon that the Scourge has been doing some experimenting on (that doesn't sound good, but keep an eye out for some Emerald Dream teasers), Lady Deathwhisper is the Supreme Overseer of the Cult of the Damned, and Professor Putricide oversees the Plagueworks. He's the creator of Rotface and Festergut, and his fight will probably be a gross one.
Look for our impressions of these fights later this week, and if you're looking to test any of these yourselves, better roll on over to the PTR. As always, this schedule are subject to change at any time without notice. Such is life on the Public Test Realm.

I'll probably never see the Frozen Throne (at least in WOW) but Sindragosa better be Sunwell-level hard.
TLK trash will break your guild, there's five Gluths and they all summon zombie chow at once...

"Sindragosa better be Sunwell-level hard"
Just so casuals can't get in there right?

I thought Sindragosa was one of the final encounters?...

You know, mr rivendare mentioned he is among the casual people...
He is simply stating that since the trash is hard, the bosses better match or surpass it.

Note to self: stay away from mmo-champion to not be spoiled by these bosses.
Sindragosa and Dreamwalker sound very intresting concepts. We'll see how it goes, hopefully very very different than other dragon fights so far in wotlk (malygos, OS and razorscale.. bit too straightforward apart from vehicles in malygos)

Has anyone else attempted to copy pre-made characters over to the PTR? I queued a druid and it's been stuck in the queue for several days. Just wondering if that's common?

I've been waiting for over a week, and mine still haven't been copied over :'(
On the forums, it just says to wait, but many people have been having the same problem despite transfers being completed within a few hours in the beginning.
Personally, I thought that as time went on, they would be faster as less people were trying, but apparently thats not the case.

There should be a system in place in which if you down Sindragosa you no longer need to bear her screaming at you whenever you log in. Instead, you will just see her cold, frozen corpse blowing in the wind until Deathwing comes and lights it on fire in patch 4.0.
