MM
Patient Sniper is getting baked into Vulnerability (passive) - overall burst dmg boost
Gets freezing trap, 30s CD to 40s CD (for all specs)

SV
Traps will reward baiting enemies rather than dropping on top for more dynamic gameplay (most likely insignificant for BGs)

Frost (for 29s)
Ice barrier gets a 5s CD reduction and double the duration (from 30s to 1min)

MW
Rising Sun Kick 2.3% base mana to 2.0%

Ret (for 29s)
Blessing of Sanctuary CD slightly increased from 25s to 30s

Shadow
Mind Sear passive (dot to enemy within 10yd of target) is getting baked into Mind Flay but still not sure if it will be baseline or learned at level 26
Insanity generation and voidform uptime increased

Enh
Windsong CD slightly increased from 40s to 45s

Fury
War Machine duration increased from 10s to 15s

Protection (warrior) (for 29s)
Not 100% but Shockwave is showing as a level 30 talent now
Warbringer (level 28 ability) stun duration increased from 1.5s to 2.5s
Charge (with Warbringer) root duration increased from 1.5s to 2.5s



Hunters will dominate with 2 specs. Hoping Shadow will see more play but I'm mostly unlikely. Everything else will remain as is.

So basically nothing has changed ( for the better), fun.... arcane losing PoM at our level is a blow, but eh...

mmh, I decided to play whatever when the mood strikes me. no point in neglecting both, especially since I have a priest as well.
