WoL might get alot better after HotS goes live, I'd imagine they aren't getting new servers for a Beta release, merely utilising the servers they have for WoL.. so the HotS focus might have an affect on WoL servers? Either way, not long till HotS and that feels so smooth!

The latest big patch that happened to WOL should be the same version on the server and client side that the HOTS beta is using right now, so if you're having problems with this version but not HOTS I would not hold my breath for it magically fixing itself in 2 weeks when HOTS comes out (they'll be the same servers and almost the same client likely with some bug fixes).
The beta is definitely on a different server that Blizzard uses for most of it's beta's under the subdomain enus.nydus.battle.net. I had a very similar experience with the patch 1.5 arcade beta where it felt remarkably smoother, and then it went live and it was it's same old laggy WoL self.
So if you have issues, and the link I posted doesn't cover it, or some other fix, make sure you report it, don't wait until HOTS comes because the beta worked fine, there are a lot of different variables that could be making it mess up and the fact that the beta worked fine doesn't mean live will work equally well.
