That is patch 2.0.1 for the main game, the idea is that the DL for lots of people will take place between now and the patch going live at a yet unannounced future date a) so you can play the new patch the second it goes live to stagger the load on Blizzard's servers.
I can't log in and I still have the PTR option in the client.
Besides it makes no sense for 2.0 to go live a day after it's latest iteration hit the PTR.
I think he's more referring to the fact that the PTR build is still miles away from being finished. They'd have to fix all the bugs and finalize all the tuning, drop rates, density, and so on in about 5 weeks. Given the meager process over the past 5 weeks (yeah I know, Chrismas break - but still), I can't see that happen. My money is on two or three weeks before RoS.
Really? I main a wizard, too, and I've got lots of complaints. I know some of them won't get fixed (Blizzard still feels wrong and useless), but some of them really needs fixing (shield generating abilities!!!). Right now we're doomed to kite on higher levels; I checked the player's list yesterday night and saw several people playing Torment 2+ with less than 5m toughness and 5k healing. I'm at 10m toughness and 12k healing and I'm getting smoked unless I constantly run away like a chicken. I'm not saying I want to stand in the middle of the action and tank everything (that'd be awesome, but probably not what Blizzard has in mind); but right now certain skills are pointless because on Torment 1+, in a single game, without any OP legendaries, standing still as a wizard means death. You either need to kite or completely go into frost, I've heard you can permafreeze most stuff (which I didn't manage yet without any special gear and I also think it shouldn't be possible anymore).
Oh, and paragon treats are still not working. Once you get the cooldown reduction from that, several builds/spells need to undergo testing again, you don't wanna release the game without having +20% CDR untested.

Given all the improvements in this patch they "only" need to tune the drop rates and fix any and all bugs. I've not seen any complaints about anything else so far, density is back to an ok-ish state, paragon experience gain is also working as intended. So I'd say 2.0 will arrive in the third-fourth week of February.
Yeah, I want 2.0 that badly on live - probably because I main a Wizard.
you should probably stop worrying about d3. 2.0 doesnt change the game, RoS does (slightly). and it's not coming out any time soon. Probably 2 weeks before RoS at the earliest.
We really do not know for sure. Likely it would be the 18th or 19th of March since the Auction House will be removed on the 18th, but it could still go life before then.

Patch is not going live.
1) Still way too many bugs
2) PTR just received a new patch yesterday, still lots of stuff to iterate on
3) Pre-downloading just started hours ago
4) Live servers only get major patches during maintenance.
the patch wont go live until march
