My understanding is that PVP is among the final phases of tuning/bugfixing, although it sadly doesn't offer insight into the dropdate of 4.0.1.

"We are currently planning to end Arena Season 8 as early as October 12. At that point we will go through our normal process to determine who is eligible for the end-of-season rewards. This process should take approximately one week. It's very important for players who feel that they may be eligible for the Arena-specific titles and/or the Relentless Gladiator’s Frostwyrm to refrain from transferring their character to another realm until after Arena Season 8 ends.
The next Arena Season will begin for level-85 players approximately one week after the official launch of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. During the break between seasons, all rated matches will be turned off and only skirmishes will be available. All Team Ratings, Personal Rating, and Arena Points will be wiped when Arena Season 9 begins, but Matchmaking Rating and Honor Points converted to the new currency system will remain."

I have to say it even though it's negative.
Spell nerfs inc across the board due to Arena imbalance.
:(
Ah well no matter, WoW will still be fun!!!! And that's the main thing.
I love you all, goodnight.
