Yeah, we'll see what Nikon comes out with. If it's the D800, then I expect a winter announcement for 5D3. If not, then I don't expect the 5D3 until Spring, at the earliest.

For video, I understand it, but I think that a dslr is a poor choice for a camera that will be primarily a video camera. A dslr is hard to use for video as a casual camera. You have to be serious with a big tripod, fluid head and/or a stability rig to use a dslr for anything other than the occasional video.
A swivel display increases the odds of a failure considerably I'd guess.

I think a swivel display can be useful for photography in some cases. However, its use for video is more prevalent. That being said, I don't think a dSLR primarily for video is a bad choice. Remember, they shoot House on the 5D2, tons of music videos, commercials, short films, etc.
