US PTR - A preview of BC?

The US PTR went live a few days ago. Kalimdor is down, and if you are lucky to be on Azeroth you can play until it crashes. They only brought up 1 PTR and the demand is killing the PTR.
If any of you were around during launch, you know what to expect with BC. Some servers will get lucky and stay up until they have to do rolling restarts. Some realms will crash and be unplayable. On large population servers the lag in the new starting areas, and Hellfire Peninsula will be horrible.
If they can't even get a PTR up and running, why should we expect the expansion to go smoothly?
I suffered through the first week of WoW's launch and I'll do the same with BC, but I am sure it will be ugly and frustrating.

from wow's run as the most sucessful mmo, BC will have players pushing
for 70 on the same servers they play now that are stable.
The new BC servers will probably be like the many new servers they
released that didn't allow transfers only slightly more populated and
have a more serious population who will stay there.
private test realms have always been a problem as they hold a fraction
of the players most real servers have and they are looking for still
remaining glitches with them.
You try to funnel 150 servers worth of curious people into one public test realm and see what happens.
