The original intent of the PTR was to collect feedback from players about what did and did not work, before finalizing what was to be included in the patch. Hopefully, the closure means that enough feedback has flowed in, and we will soon be seeing the patch on normal Battle-Net realms, along with the obligatory ladder reset.
However, this could turn out to be a PTR update. Due to the fact that the PTR is meant to gather feedback, Blizzard will most likely release any updates directly to the PTR, to be met with more user comments. This may not even be the final version of the PTR coming up, due to software iteration, Blizzard may have to release yet another more refined version of the patch before going live.
This would be a good time to make use of our skill calculator, which is up to date with the 1.13 build. However, keep in mind that due to the nature of the PTR, these values and statistics may change once the final version is released, hopefully for the better.
So, while this may not meant that the patch is coming up soon, it still means we're getting close.

i base that on these posts:
(from here and here)
Here's to hoping that Blizzard doesn't put it's head in an orifice it shouldn't go.
Damn, Sixen commented on that post in less than a minute.
I do not think they will add too much to the 1.13. What the y need to work on is more of the bugs that have been around for a long time. Such as the Zeal, Fend bug. They also need to work on getting rid of the hacks on the realm and to help get rid of the spambots.
Good I'm no longer waiting for it...
WOOOO Ladder reset, I have a mule with some uber gear on ladder that I got from joining "free games" and I'm just waiting for a ladder reset to access them. Then also me and a friend are gonna go on ladder and make ladder only runeword chars.
Woooo ladder reset.
*ahem* yay new patch
wtf Lego universe! If i want legos i get the huge box from my parents and start building.. or not
Wut.. when the ladder reset comes .. all ladder chars go to non-ladder. Ofc you get access to the items by making non-ladder chars but thats kinda meh.
Everyone in the new ladder will start from scratch.
