In light of Blizzard's recent legal victory over an incredibly robust *EVIL* program (EVIL), I think they are probably more inclined to release some of the lock downs they had previously on the game.
This same thought occurred to me the other night. It may be that now that they have legal precedent they will deal with people/programs that take advantage of things in a legal manner instead of having to make things so difficult through API limitations.

They could - not saying they will - start individually sueing players who are caught botting for ruining the gaming experience of legit players.

Far fetched, but look at what the RIAA / MPAA has been doing for awhile now....
Yea, but more likely they can just threaten to sue the people writing/distrbuting the addons/scripts. They already handle the players that bot; they ban them. Now that they can get a legal grip on people that write and distribute the tools to do it, I imagine that it will be much harder for people to cheat unless they roll their own. The problem isn't a couple software geeks that cheat on their own characters, its that they spread the tools to cheat. Stop the spread, ban the home grown botters and it will fall within the background noise.
