Blizzard trademarked "Wrath of the Lich King" only 2 or 3 weeks before BlizzCon 2007, so it would make sense for them to trademark the next expansion name right before BlizzCon 2009.

Personnally, I'm quite sure "Cataclysm" is the name, or part of the name of the next expansion for WoW, especially since the Great Sundering is also known as the Cataclysm, when the Maelstrom was created.

There have been several hints already at a Maelstrom expansion :

- Aquatic Mounts (Sea Turtle & Aquatic Riding Ray (didn't make it past PTR)).
- Several people reported seeing a test server named "Maelstrom 3" a few days ago by making it to the Realm Selection during downtime.
- A sound file in a folder named "Sargeras" was implemented on PTR with 3.2, and Sargeras is heavily linked to the Maelstrom.

Anyways, I'm sure we'll get more information at BlizzCon in a few weeks, but I'm not holding my breath, I doubt this expansion will appear on shelves any time before at least Fall 2010.
