So where does this fall on the release time line? PTR for a month then the pre-cata event? so maybe 2 months?

MMO-Champion is claiming November 2nd [going by the numbers], another site is claiming mid November [from what they call a "reliable source."].

For the 4.0 push or the Cata launch?

Pushing 4.0 on the 2nd would give them a week after BlizzCon which might make sense, not sure how tired they were when they pushed 3.0 the Tuesday after BlizzCon for Wrath. They might just want a week to prepare. There will be at least a week or two between 4.0 and Cata release to shake out any issues with 4.0 live. Didn't Wrath launch on 3.0.3a?
