Heroic difficulties will be available for testing!

This is definitely a mistake. Heroic modes should be saved for the live realms so they're not spoilt early. Don't give me that crap about bug fixing, that's why they have teams that do internal testing. It's not like Icecrown will be bug free when it hits live anyway even with PTR testing of hardmodes.

Blizzard want to prolong the content, which is why they're gating it, but then again they're releasing everything but Arthas on the PTRs so it will all fall over on the first night it's released.

They've got it the wrong way around here, I'm afraid.
