I do hope/half expect that we'll get some sort of information about Titan at Blizzcon next month. Large events like this need large reveals and they have really nothing else to announce at this point aside from possibly releasing Starcraft 2 DOTA or some other special DLC.
Given what we know about the development timeline, and the fact that 4.3 is on the horizon, I fully expect the next expansion pack to be announced this year, even if it's not Pandaria.
Keep in mind that they originally had a second quarter 2012 release date in mind, though this late into 2011 I wouldn't be surprised if that was pushed back.
We're not going to be seeing anything Titan-related this year anyways. While Blizzard is under pressure to do
something with so many big-name games coming out soon, Titan isn't ready yet. They have confirmed yesterday that Titan will not show up at Blizzcon.

Then you're out of luck, that's about the only thing we actually know about the game.
Wrong. Rumor. Complete rumor. Possibly true, but I can find not one source confirming it. Out of the like 4 total facts Blizzard has said about Titan, the fact that it is a FPSMMO is not one of them. What we
do know is that Titan is a new MMO based on a completely new IP (read: universe) with new lore, characters, and completely unrelated to other previous games. It has been in development since 2007, when job listings first when up for a new MMO. The FPS speculation comes into play when you consider that the job listings looked for a "texture artist with a sci-fi/fantasy background."
We know a few of the big names working on it (Tom Chilton), and we know because of the leaked schedule that it is slated for a 4th quarter 2013 release, which means we'll likely start hearing about it in Blizzcon 2012, at the earliest.
tl;dr: Titan will not be at Blizzcon 2011, I predict WoW Expansion Pack IV to be announced then, and we don't know for sure that Titan is a FPS. It's only speculation.
Edit: I know how to format links, I swear.
