Well neither of us have any concrete evidence. We are extrapolating based on what we have. One group based on what Blizz said, the other on the patch size and how ready it looked at BlizzCon. Sure the footage may have been recorded in early november for the usual BlizzCon time and if they stagger the raid release by a month (wouldn't be the first) they might be able to push it through with only two months of PTR. And soon after might mean a few weeks (although Blizzard soon can be anything from two weeks to ten years. That could put us at a May release, but that is a lot of maybes and it still leaves us with a 6 month wait from release for a patch with questionable shelf life.
My personal guess is, like I said, August. PTR in early april, with the intention of pushing the whole thing (raid, dungeon, zone) out in one go, with the group content testing stretching the test phase to be on the longer side, but still unprecedented, leading to an early August release.
