Blizzrad announced yesterday that the PvP season will end as early as 15th November (usually ends before a major patch). The 4.3 patch is also marked as 'release' on the PTR which means it is finished and ready to go. My guess is we will get it Wednesday 23rd of November. We best get's a killin' on Beth and Raggy :p

Please tell me it's not a female dwarf.
That would be a shame if it comes out in November. 10 man raid guilds are only just now finishing their first legendary, so it's daft when the game design dictates that a 10 man guild will almost certainly not be able to get a legendary. Let's hope that at least HC Beth'tilac falls before the patch hits.
its not a female dwarf.......
or is it?

Well they want to get it out before SW:TOR and releasing it pretty much a month before that game's release seems like a smart idea for Blizz, too bad it will almost guarantee as you said for you to not get your Legendary, same with most 10 man groups :(
I dont think blizzard cares alot about 10mans

Yeh that's was evident as soon as they made it so 25 mans get the Legendary nearly 3 times faster. Because obviously people would share out the drops and not just give them one person.... oh wait.
I think they care about 10 mans, but design on 25 man. Thus they have got it very badly wrong in terms of balance.
The other glaring error on Blizzard's part is the tuning of Heroic Ragnaros relative to the rest of Firelands. Unfortunately they have turned it into another Muru - a guild wrecker. For the top raid guilds, they have spent about 50% on their Firelands weeks getting to 6/7 Heroic. They've then spent the next 50% (two months) working on and wiping to HC Ragnaros. It should not be that you can get 6/7 HC so quickly and then get stuck on HC Ragnaros for over 2 months - that's a recipe for burning out, wrecking guilds and losing subscribers. Hopefully 4.3 will be better balanced than the pre-HC Ragnaros bosses compared to HC Ragnaros. There's about 1,000 guilds worldwide have killed HC Ragnaros and that number has not changed significantly over the past two months - and that's bad for the game.

Agreed, you can't have all the previous HC bosses only slightly increasing in difficulty and then hitting the brick wall that is Ragnaros, it's just bad game design to make this tier last much longer than it needed to.
not sure if i read it correct.. but would you like to see the rest of the HC's get harder or HC raggy get eazier? :P
Both.

As Teaell said both. Raggy is just astronomically harder than the rest of the HC bosses, what they needed to do was make the other 6 harder and then bring Raggy down to that level.
Just to update, Blizzard have confirmed that Season 10 will end on the 29th of November, so that almost guarantee's that 4.3 will be out on the 7th December.
