While I dont see them adding major content patches similar to WoW, mainly due to size difference of the development teams, Blizzard has gone back on their word plenty of times over the years. They said future expansions for WoW were going to be released much quicker than BC, but they havent shorten development times much at all. Runes in D2 were going to remain extremely rare, so they were "special" and hard to obtain, but they have changed drop rate several times. They didnt plan on adding respecs in D2 and it was added later. SC2 expansions were supposed to release quickly after Wings of Liberty, but we will be lucky to see Heart of the Swarm in 2013.
I dont think they have any plans to add major content to D3 at this times, but if the expansions end up taking a long time to release, they will probably give fans something to tie them over. I dont believe Blizzard is trying to deceive the fans, but with their very long development times, they have to do something to keep fans interested and kill some of the complaining.
Makes me wonder how long after release PvP arenas will come
