I think there is signifigant pressure to release WoTLK at such a time to be ahead of the release of Warhammer, or compete direct against it. One issue with TBC release was almost no raid boss in the game for 25 players was tuned at all.

Gruul, Magtheridon, and TK Attunement were signifigantly overtuned. Hydross could crush, making the fight impossible for Paladin tanks, and lots of encounters bugging out, like Lurker below.

However, these were all new bosses. Blizzard has an excellent chance to release the two Naxx raids and have them tuned well from the get go, since the mechanics are similar, and numbers are adjusted. Looks like for a fresh level 70 entering the expansion, there will be 4-6months of content ready for them, giving Blizzard ample time to release another tier of raids.
