After running the launcher and going through optimization and setup i'm faced with a 20gb download? anyone know why? 20gb seems abit steep for a patch?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Normally first you download and upgrade patch and only then optimization is run. For me optimization reduced WoW size for about 10Gb.

The patches for MoP have been roughly that size from early beta afaik and blue posters have repeatedly mentioned it ahead of it going live. I believe it has been on background downloader for upwards a month. Like WhiteAlien said, it's not something that's added as-is on top of your existing installation, once you're done installing and have run optimisation it should be a much smaller increase in size than the total size of the patch.
