But yeah, 24 hr downtime... ouch. Id almost rather it be 48 hours total, but spread out over a couple weeks or something

Cata will release around 20 something ish of November, just like Wrath. The 4.0 chaos patch will hit 10/26/2010, or the Tuesday after BlizzCon, just like Wrath. The world events will start sometime after like Wrath. I think they might announce dates before BlizzCon, since retailers need to be able to get things sorted with supply chain and midnight sales. Once you tell retailers, you are telling the world.

Granted, I could be wrong, but I've been giving these dates since Cata was announced at last BlizzCon while everyone else was expecting it by February or even last year if they were crazy. As for Ruby Sanctum, not sure, but I'm guessing before July 4th.
