Would I pay for a patch? Hell no
Would I pay for DLC? Probably if at the right price.
Would I pay for a patch that also contains DLC? No.
Patches are by definition fixes for issues with a game title. These should ALWAYS be free as the end user has already paid for the product and fixing issues with a title is the responstability of the devs/publishers and they should pay for it.
DLC is a different story. But both together would be a totaly kick in the crown jewels to everyone who owns the title and has supported the game. It would instanly create a two tier online play mode, with "the have's" and the "have not's". With the way the playerbase is, any further erosion of the number of people eligable to play with one another would most likely kill of 90% of all online play.
