I really don't see it happening for a long time. There are certain skills though that I can see getting tweaked with patches with PvP in mind. Horrify comes to mind. This skill is quite obviously a PvP skill, and as state by blizzard there are skills in the game for each class that were included with PvP in mind. So I could see them tweaking those specific skills a bit if there is too big of an out cry. But even that is a really long shot.
The only way I see them balancing PvP would be if after they have released the last expansion for the game, that people are still playing, and the demand for a more balanced PvP system is high. Even then they would have to introduce some kind of ranking system, or other various mechanics that allow for PvP. As it stands now it sounds like you can't do things like War Games in WoW, and choose to fight against another group, which means tournaments will be harder to organize, if not impossible.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if upon release, PvP is cut, and to be implemented in a future patch, because we haven't heard anything about it since blizzcon, and even then we were told very little. Not saying it's for sure, and I think it's more likely for them to be in there, since it's just about creating the arenas and a queue system which seemed to be done already, but it wouldn't be a shock to me if the game released without PvP at all given that they are now trying to work quickly towards release.
