Blizzard is as of yet still not naming any specific dates for the release of Cataclysm (Or even beta) - They cannot surely expect players to be sitting quietly on their hands waiting what could well be 6-8months down the line for something which may well be delayed even further for whatever reason.
I am happy in Icecrown at the moment, progressing through the instance - But even if i don't get to fight the Lich King in the next month or two i would prefer to have some contingency in place to give the players something to look forward too.
I don't know how i would feel about a filler patch (3.4) - Sunwell seemed initially like a filler patch and people thought that raid instance was amazing.
I would certainly be very disapointed in Blizzard though if in the next few weeks nothing in terms of news came out.
