    As far as I know (not that I'm an expert) this is essentially speculation but considering we don't yet have a release date for Cataclysm and the frequency with which Blizzard have been patching the game I think it's highly plausible that we'll see patches before the next expansion, there are of course no guarantees on how major those patches will be though.

    There's rumors that there will be at least one big pre-cataclysm patch (dubbed 3.9) which will add the events that will enable the Gnomes to retake Gnomeregan and the Trolls to retake their island, which will turn into their new starting zones.

    They will probably also release a 4.0 patch before the actual release of Cataclysm as well which adds things like the new talent trees and redesigned gui etc.

    Ya I am assuming ether September or November for cata especially with blizzcon being in October I don't think they would want to drop a talent tree altering patch before there big invitation PVP matches. Then again its blizz they might do it just to fuck with people
