I have heard pretty consistantly that Nerimaxxas was the last raid content. Assuming its out in a couple of months, that makes 6 months between major content. It was also about 6 months between BWL and AQ (though ZG was inbetween).
Unless there is a crack team of programmers hidden away toiling on the expansion and not assisting the current group, they would be _very_ hard pressed to come up with at lest 2 dungeons and probably more like 4, several new outdoor areas both 1-10 and 60-70, all the quests that go into those in 6 months.
Then add in the complications of trying to rebalance the game at 70. I know they are going to get it right the first time, but they need to have at least some time with people beating on it, and finding any overpowered talent synergies or imbalanced items.
Maybe such a group exists, but I don't think so.
