June 28th is the last possible release day for Blizzard to be able to throw something out before the end of Q2, hopefully driving sub numbers up for the upcoming stockholder quarterly report.
If you take a look at latest PTR DPS simulations, which I'm not saying are all that accurate at the moment, it surely seems this might have been a slight overkill. (Being on par with Warlocks and Rogues & above Warriors)
However, if (and when) the nerf comes I'm still quite confident that Shamans (Enhancement to be exact) will once again be fairly competitive, which was Blizzards plan all along.
Sure.
But lets face it. It will be more likely released on 28th than 21st.
The fact that we still had a patch this week means (with 99% certainty - leaving that 1% wiggling room for myself) we won't be seeing a patch on 21st.
Unless Blizzard seriously wants to rush it, but then again, you'd think they had learned by now..?
There is a chance for the patch to appear on the 21st, here are some reasons why:
1. Midsummer fire festival is going to happen on the 21st
2.The trailer for the new patch is already out
3. There hasn't been any MAJOR updates with the patch notes on the ptr
With that being said, its almost certainly that this patch will appear on the 21st of June
Only major change being the Shaman one, true.
Trailer being out doesn't really mean a thing, it's more like a good hype to keep us entertained and going just another week longer.
What comes to Midsummer festival, mm yeah, well it doesn't really require much more than a realm restart does it? That's most likely happening regardless of patch on 21st.
You might be right and I might be wrong, because who's to say they won't push it out 21st. I'm just hoping they don't because then we do know they rushed the patch once again.

Looks like you missed the earlier post I made about the same subject, stating that publishing a major patch only a week after the latest PTR patch, is by any standards, rushed.
Sure we might (and will) find bugs here and there, but be as it may: Time (usually) equals More polished products (in this case, less buggier Patch 4.2).
I wish Blizz would post their wallpapers in 2560x1440 resolution
Still finding it hard to believe that they would release this patch June 28 patches have always come out on the day an arena season ends...
I don't mean to sound rude, but are you certain that the patch is coming out on the 28th? I went on the same page section as the screenshot shown above with the date, http://us.battle.net/wow/en/game/patch-notes/4-2 and it it shows 6/16/2011, the date the post was most likely made. Perhaps the date you saw was a typo? Or am I on the wrong page?
*Edit* I guess I should have read the above posts first before posting

I want 1680x1050, anyone know where can i get it in this resolution?
They buffed enhancement!? WTF is this real?
Hyped as hell for the enhance buffs just rolled and geared one. I can't wait to see how it affects their Raid DPS.
DK Frost DPS is too high... so we'll give dw Frost MORE procs to do MORE damage. /thumbsup.
