Blizzard has changed thier mind on resetting everyone's honor at the release of the expansion, read below for details:

We had hoped that the introduction of some new Honor
rewards in the upcoming patch would give players a great opportunity to
spend any of their remaining Honor. However, many players would still
be surprised by an Honor and token reset as it isn’t something we’ve
done in the past. As such, we've decided to not reset Honor or tokens
upon the release of Wrath of the Lich King. Players who save their
Honor will be able to spend it on level 80 rewards, although those
rewards will be significantly more expensive than their level 70
counterparts.

Blizzard also announced the end of Season 4 to be October 14th, could this possibly be the release date for 3.0.2? It would make sense as arena season generally match up with major content patches, and with the massive amount of changes to all classes in 3.0.2 it would make sense to end the season as it is released.​

We’re currently planning to end the fourth Arena
season on October 14, 2008, and as always -- this date could easily
change. This Arena Season is only ending in respect to the ladder,
meaning we'll be taking a snapshot of the season's ladder and then go
through our normal process to determine who is eligible for the
end-of-season rewards. This process should take approximately one week.
It's very important for players who feel that they may be eligible for
the arena-specific title and/or Armored Nether Drake to refrain from
transferring their character to another realm between the date outlined
above, and when the end-of-season rewards are physically awarded.


Upon the end of this Arena Season, teams and ratings will not be
wiped, and will carry forward allowing players to earn points each week
and purchase gear until the launch of the expansion (November 13,
2008).
