Blizzard files trademark “Cataclysm”

According to Joystiq, Blizzard trademarked the name “Cataclysm” for use in “video games”, “online games”, and “paper-based products”.  And according to WoWWiki, the Cataclysm is also a name for “The Great Sundering”, an event that reshaped Azeroth.  This leads some people to think that maybe the third WoW expansion will be titled “Cataclysm”, although I beg to differ.  The Great Sundering took place ten thousand years before the first Warcraft game, so unless Blizzard is going to do some really crazy time paradox Caverns of Time expansion thing with it, I think it will be a new game.

And if not, what the fuck have they done to their lore?!

A new Blizzard IP would be awesome.  New lore, new mechanics, all that shit.  Just, please god, no faction switching, please.
