For those of you that don't know, blizzard has posted that they WILL be releasing another content patch so that means more PTR! All of the following is taken from the worldofwarcraft.com forums:
"Yes there will be a patch. No it won't be 1.13 as far as we know. Blizz has already changed their mind on the version number once, they could do it again. Yes there will be new content. No we don't know what. Look for a STICKY above for any new information. Until you see a sticky stating otherwise, the PTR's are not up. The below is what information is out there. There might be more, I invite you to look for yourself. Anything posted by anyone else ( myself included) is pure speculation and should not be taken as Gospel.

It was discussed in limited amounts last week, and has at least been hinted at here and there. We will be releasing a content patch before the release of the expansion which will include many of the 'game-wide' features that are not specific to Outland, the new dungeons or zones, or level 70 restricted content (aka the stuff everyone is getting anyway). An exact list has yet to be revealed as we're still working to see what exactly can be included, but all of the class/talent changes are confirmed, as well as the new honor system.

We'll be releasing a content patch prior to the release of the expansion. More details to come soon.

Remember, we were planning on patching in many things along with the release of the Burning Crusade so that those who chose not to purchase the expansion could still enjoy many new features.
With the delay of the game, we'll be patching prior to its release.

Keep in mind, we do plan to push a content patch prior to release, which could occupy your holiday time quite well.

We will try to get all the various confusions cleared up for everyone tomorrow (I'm unsure of the patch number of the pre-release patch myself).

I'm not sure of what patch number is being used, so to cut out any confusion it's "the patch before the expansion with a whole bunch of stuff in it". As far as I'm aware there will be a separate "bridging patch" (containing expansion weapons, armor, items, race models, etc. that everyone will be able to see) closer to the release of the expansion. I could very well be wrong and they could be merged, but we will indeed be releasing a content patch before the release of the expansion with a bunch of goodies in it. It's going to be SPOOKtacular!

I want to alleviate this confusion once and for all. Below, I've done my best to address every character of every word in your post:
# We plan to release a content patch before the end of the year.
# This patch will include the new Honor system and talents, among other things (additional details to come).
# This patch will likely not be tagged as 1.13, however, we've not yet revealed a version # or patch name. Please be patient, as these details will also be available soon.
# This patch was originally slated to release just before the game launched, however, due to the delay a larger gap exists between the two.
# We are not Game Masters.
# Those who wish to will always find fault with our messaging, despite the message itself. That is why some, rather than the no one you proclaim will often dismiss our credibility. Most players aren't out to get us, or anyone else. At least that's what I hang on to everyday...
# We do not provide release dates for patch content, as it's disappointing to many when unforeseen problems prevent us from delivering. Again, we do plan to release sometime before the year ends.

- Yes we plan to have a new PTR.
- No we don't have a date yet.
- Yes, this patch may be our most exciting yet. There is plenty of new content and game-wide changes not specific to the expansion for everyone to check out.
- Be patient, it will be some time until it's ready for the public. "
