Do we get a new BG in WOTLK?

I know we get a pvp related zone, which I have high hopes for; but I'm wondering about any plans for another BG.

I really dislike EOTS, which someone might find strange because I like WSG and AB very much. The best parts of EOTS are still found in the other two BG's, there doesn't seem to be a unique strategy or play style for it. For me, even though its the newest BG, it became old the fastest.

WSG and AB are so much fun I can see its hard to follow up on them, but EOTS seems forced. It seems more like a BG to spread players out and lessen queue times than something thats going to draw players to it on its own merit. I actually skip the PvP daily sometimes on EOTS, as if I'm protesting the war.

People still queue for it, and there aren't masses of complaints; so I know theres no improvements planned. So for someone who enjoys BG'ing over pretty much everything else in WoW, I'm hoping the expansion will give something new for the BG's.

Yes, we're looking to add a new Battleground in Wrath of the Lich King. I don't have any additional information on this as of yet.
