Well I know that these updated have an off-line test to check them, but the real world is different.

If it’s been a DNS fail it’ll take a while for everyone to reconnect.

In theory, it shouldnt - its actual DNS changes that take a while to propergate, due to TTL.
But if DNS simply fails due to the source servers being down, then it shoud all start working again as soon as the source servers are up.
Of course, they may get overloaded to start with.
That said, some of the reports suggest BGP changes were the problem.
In that case it can take time for more changes (ie fixes) to find their way to all routers.

Also, it really does look to me like someone's hosed the DNS records from inside, whether that's a misconfiguration by accident or if someone's done it to take it offline, will remain to be seen.

There is nothing wrong with teh DNS records. They still exist but systems can't access them due to a config update on the BGP routing.
As Hugh posted,

someone at Facebook caused an update to be made to the company’s Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) records. BGP is a mechanism by which Internet service providers of the world share information about which providers are responsible for routing Internet traffic to which specific groups of Internet addresses.

Re: Facebook Outage

[EXTRACT]
Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are now back up and running after being shuttered by a global outage on Monday.
The widespread disruption was blamed on a “faulty configuration change”, with Facebook saying in a statement:
“Our engineering teams have learned that configuration changes on the backbone routers that coordinate network traffic between our data centres caused issues that interrupted this communication.
“This disruption to network traffic had a cascading effect on the way our data centres communicate, bringing our services to a halt.”
The company in a late Monday blog post did not specify who executed the configuration change and whether it was planned.
Several Facebook employees who declined to be named had told Reuters earlier that they believed that the outage was caused by an internal mistake in how internet traffic is routed to its systems.
The failures of internal communication tools and other resources that depend on that same network in order to work compounded the error, the employees said. Security experts have said an inadvertent mistake or sabotage by an insider were both plausible.
“We want to make clear at this time we believe the root cause of this outage was a faulty configuration change,” Facebook said in the blog.

Re: Facebook Outage
Quite a few sites were very slow yesterday.
Things seem ok this morning though.

I dont use instagram at all, the only time I use whatsapp is when my kids want to send me pictures from their phone. I probably look at facebook twice a week.
The only reason I knew was my daughter was having trouble connecting to whatsapp, so asked me to take a look.
Having determined it was a WA issue and not our network, I went on to google and came across the outage reports.
