I'm looking for people who have had experience scaling IBM's WebSphere to high traffic volumes. This is in terms of both the number of messages and the size of the data. Have there been any issues and are there any gotchas to be looking out for?

This greatly depends on the protocol you leveraging under the covers. As an example of you r leveraging MQ you have the option of turning off delivery confirmations and persistence. Both of these options will greatly increase your performance at the expense of loosing messages in the advent of a system crash.
In either case you should document your systems execution patterns and plan several rounds of performance testing and tuning.

I would take a look at the WebSphere BPM Performance Redbook:
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp4431.html
It'll certainly help you out with performance best practices, tuning, and so on.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
