Considering the resume of Blizzard games and the scope of games they release, 18 mths isn't too bad.
Consider also the current workload of games currently being supported, and the magnitude of those games: WOW and Starcraft 2!
Other game companies wouldn't take that long to release games as most of them only have 1 game to concentrate on at a time.
It's personal taste ofc, but imho Blizz have released some absolutely wonderful games in the past, most notably Diablo series, and Starcraft 1 and 2.
Blizzard have never released 2 games in the same year, and the slate indicates that.
Quality, not quantity, i'd rather wait 18 mths for a xpac, or, in the case of Diablo a few years for a full game, knowing that i'm getting a great game, full of content, replayability etc etc.
