This is most likely legit, though 8 months old.
Point of Interest: SC2 Phoenix
We all know Starcraft 2 will have 2 expansions, and the release dates are very realistic.
Is it possible that SC2 Phoenix is a BW remake with the SC2 Engine in Bnet 2.0?
Souce: mmo-champion

The image appeared on MMOGamesite.com, apparently this is an english MMO site based in China and I already know a lot of people will hate me for reporting that news. The document itself is probably a slide from an internal presentation to executives and/or shareholders, and seems to be 8 months old according to the date at the top.
Battle.net 2.0•BNET2 - Well, that's the Battle.net we now use on WoW.
•BNET2MapMarket - This is pretty self explanatory, but I'm a little surprised by the timeline.
•BNET2 3rd Parties - The end-game with Battle.net is as far as I know to compete with Steam. One of the best way to do that would be to use the new platform to distribute a popular game, and if that game was an upcoming Call of Duty title the Activision/Blizzard merge would suddenly make a lot of sense, right?
Starcraft 2
Nothing really new here, but I have no idea what SC2 Phoenix is.
Diablo 3
Target release date in a year makes sense. The 2 expansions aren't really a surprise but I wouldn't take it as a confirmation, that's usually the kind of stuff you mention in company meetings with the higher-ups to make everyone happy.
World of Warcraft•WoWMobile - Done/in-progress with the mobile Auction House and the upcoming extra features.
•Cataclysm - Well, we all know about that.
•WoW Brazil - Portuguese translation of the game. I already heard a couple of rumors about that and at this point I'm 99% sure it's true, this is one of the reason why I think this document is legit. (The 2 others being the TCG Game and Titan)
•WoW X4 - 4th expansion in a year and a half sounds very plausible.
•WoW TCG - TCG Game, this part will probably remind you of one of my old posts ... The Future of World of Warcraft: TCG
•WoW Movie - I'd say the timeline is off because the document is a few months old, before Sam Raimi decided to work on other projects before the Warcraft movie (but I still want to believe).
•WoW X5 - 5th expansion a year and a half later, nothing surprising.
Titan
Yeah, that's Blizzard's new MMOFPS and I might have hinted at that in the past but I don't have a lot of extra information about it and the release date is just an estimation. Don't assume that it will be released by the end of 2013 based on that document, it would be very stupid.
Conclusion
The document is probably legit, even if it's already a little old it still confirms and backups a couple of information I already mentioned, and mentions the portuguese translation for the first time in public. Don't take it as a hard fact and don't bring it up too much on official forums but I think it's an interesting piece of information.

At first I figured this was sarcasm, then I used the search feature and realized that it was indeed sarcasm. |

Is there any other information out there on Titan?
It seems weird that they would release SC2 HotS and D3 during the same quarter though.

Speculation time!
SC2 Phoenix being BW:3D is my guess. I bet the "Next-Gen MMO" is Titan.
Cant wait for the 4th quarter of 2011 too  |

The author of mmo-champion, Boubouille, is rarely ever wrong.
Titan is the next-gen MMOFPS, there are rumors that Blizzard is working with Ensemble Studios (Halo) for that titile. |

I can't imagine that, creating competition with themselves doesn't make much sense. |
