Zerg was really OP during the beta during a short period and that was fixed at release.
The GomTvT was not due to balance problems....... o.O

While the trailer is a bombastic fight scene, it completely skips the space western feeling I got from WoL. WoL was awesome. I'm afraid the protoss plot simply won't live up to the expectations. HotS campaign felt off already.
HOWEVER STILL HYPED!

Well that was certainly the most epic proxy pylon ever.

everyone in the Avilo fan club knows that the Blue Flame Hellion upgrade should've stayed at +15 and the game has gone downhill ever since then

Already took a full week for the release of Fallout. Everything is going exactly as I have forseen.
Looks like I'm going to have to cut some sleep out of that schedule, though.

There were other factors such as most maps having open naturals and a poor GSL format, but most of the reason for GomTvT was balance. (responding to the guy you quoted, not you)

of course GomTvT was a balance issue, did you see the amount of Terrans in Korea at that time ? Doubt there was a 50/50/50% balance of races at that time ! 
Seriously though, that so many Koreans switched to Terran, because they where easier to figure out then Zerg and Protoss ruined WoL balance big time together with Blizzards shot first ask questions later balance approach.

Kinda wish for a mod of that scale...though zealots might look like ants compared to a nexus.

My biggest question is, knowing the impending doom that's on its way via Amon and what not, why are the Protoss focused on retaking Aiur? Is it simply out of the pride of their people, wanting to retake their home world at all costs? Or is there a purpose to it, something there that will help them in their fight to save the universe?
Toss don't really know much yet. In a Tassadar-esque way Zeratul has been avoiding the moment that he has to face his people. In last years blizzcon trailer you could see Zeratul come to artanis or dark rainy night and they were fighting, presumably because Arty was pissed Zera helped Kerri.

How have you not gotten all campaign achievements yet?

Even as a Terran player I have to concede that WoL balance was pretty awful since it lead to GomTvT for who knows how many months on end. Then Blizzard decided to throw a monkey wrench into things with BL Infestor too.
Pretty epic cinematic nonetheless. Though that release date seems a bit rushed from what we're seeing and hearing regarding MP beta atm.

That's exactly what they're doing, i just wish they did more of it 6 months ago.
As shown on this thread - http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/legacy-of-the-void/494703-poll-macro-booster-community-feedback
90% of people don't want current macro mechanics.
1/3'rd of that 90% want full HOTS mechanics (4 larvae inject, regular chrono boost, mules) and 2/3'rds of them want no macro mechanics.
There were other factors such as most maps having open naturals and a poor GSL format, but most of the reason for GomTvT was balance.
Of course, the lowest point of protoss balance-wise in the entire history of sc2 was during the GomTvT time period and terran probably had an edge against zerg too

I wonder what role Tassadar will have to play. I highly doubt his cameo in wings will be a red herring. Perhaps the protoss want to reclaim Auir cause of him?
Blizzard mentioned they wanted Zeratul to see the doomsday vision from someone he would trust. So they went with that. Reclamation is purely Artanis after he became hierarch. The protoss do not know about Amon yet! Zeratul is an exile.
