Antorus Opens November 28th

With all the excitement about Battle for Azeroth, (Battle? BFA? We need to lock down the short form title) one might have forgotten that, oh yeah, we've got Legion's final raid coming! Actually, it used to be normal for expansions to be announced before the final raid of the previous one came out - it was kind of a shock when Siege of Orgrimmar came out two months or so before Warlords was announced (and then it was like a thousand years between Hellfire Citadel's release and Legion's announcement.) I take this as a sign that Blizzard is getting back on their game.

Antorus will release on the 28th. While the full release schedule is not yet known, I think we can expect that Normal and Heroic will come out on the 28th, with Mythic launching the following week. LFR will presumably open up the week after that, with new wings coming out every two weeks, meaning that those of us not keeping up with the Normal or higher raiding will likely not see Argus the Unmaker until January or February of 2018 (bit of a conflict with the winter holiday there.)

Antorus' release is likely to be the final piece of Legion content, though with the more-or-less-openly-spoiled end to the raid, we'll also probably see the Wound in Silithus.

From there, I'd anticipate that Battle for Azeroth is probably coming either at the end of summer next year or some time in the fall. Going backward from there, we can probably expect to see the Beta open up some time in the spring.

Hopefully that will give us all enough time to get our Mage Tower artifact appearances unlocked (the only one I'm desperate for is the Protection Paladin one, though there are of course several others I'd like to have.)

Additionally, I recommend strolling around Undercity and Darnassus and taking screenshots while you can. Low level characters will still be able to see them as they are now, but at level 110, they're going to be destroyed.
