And that at Blizzcon, Blizzard promised Goblin Rogues by this summer.

The only date Blizzard has announce is 2010.
regardless of if he thinks it will be june/july. If there is no open beta you can be damn sure that the game will be buggy as hell and well... the beta would need to start next month for there to be true feedback for it if the intent is a release for july.
