We'll probably have an announcement later today tomorrow, but here is a Kil'jaeden preview to keep you busy while you wait.
M'uru loot table update
Not really a big update, but all the known loot for M'uru have been added to Wowhead (http://www.wowhead.com/?latest=additions). Tooltips are now available. I also fixed the dead links in the original post (http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?topic=7078.0)

Kil'jaeden information summary
Can't really call it a preview, can't really call it speculation either, this post is here to summarize all the info we've got about the last boss of Sunwell Plateau: Kil'jaeden.
Warning : You really shouldn't read this post if you don't want the fight spoiled.
Loot table
This is probably the most accurate information we've got about Kil'jaeden for the moment, even if the drops aren't confirmed yet (obviously), the ilvl and itemIDs of these item confirm their drop location.

Dialogue transcript and spells
That's probably the only decent resource we've got about the fight itself. It looks like the fight will have a lot of phases and cutscenes involving the players, Kil'jaeden, Kalecgos (http://www.wowwiki.com/Kalecgos), and Anveena (http://www.wowwiki.com/Anveena). It's not really hard to guess what will become of Anveena after reading the dialogues and checking the spells.

First "real" screenshot of Kil'jaeden ?
This screenshot was sent during the late phases of patch 2.4 testing on PTRs. According to the sender this is a leaked screenshot from a GM, I still can't fully confirm it's legit but it definitely looked good enough to be posted. Keep in mind that it could be a fake, it wasn't that hard to run 2.4 emulated server a few weeks ago, even if none of them was public.

Encounter bugs
Two bugs are already listed in the GM Petition tool in game, they confirm that players will have to use "Shield Orbs" during the encounter (see Kalecgos dialogue). The 2nd bug is a bigger problem and it could be hard to make any decent progress on the fight until the bug is fixed (most likely in 2.4.2)
http://www.vienas.net/imgcache/802.png (http://www.vienas.net/imgcache/802.png)
http://www.vienas.net/imgcache/803.png (http://www.vienas.net/imgcache/803.png)
When will we be able to fight him ?
Raids need the last door unlocked to be able to fight him, the door to M'uru was only unlocked a week ago and it wouldn't be surprising if Blizzard wanted to deploy the Patch 2.4.2 on live servers to fix some of the bugs in the encounter before making it available to players.
I wouldn't expect it before a few weeks, probably after the release of patch 2.4.2 (and it could be as soon as tomorrow ... or next week). Don't forget, that's pure speculation and nothing is confirmed by Blizzard.
Comics
The new Dark Legacy (http://www.darklegacycomics.com) is out !

When will we be able to fight him ?
Raids need the last door unlocked to be able to fight him, the door to M'uru was only unlocked a week ago and it wouldn't be surprising if Blizzard wanted to deploy the Patch 2.4.2 on live servers to fix some of the bugs in the encounter before making it available to players.
I wouldn't expect it before a few weeks, probably after the release of patch 2.4.2 (and it could be as soon as tomorrow ... or next week). Don't forget, that's pure speculation and nothing is confirmed by Blizzard.
