Sustainable CC for warriors at our lvl! Hallelujah!
 
Grants, you forgot "Hamstring is now a passive ability that causes Mortal Strike, Bloodthirst, Revenge, and Raging Blow to also reduce the target’s movement speed by 50% for 15 seconds." in the warrior section. Otherwise, great job covering all of the information that Blizzard just released!

Hamstring might be a passive that we learn at higher levels (something they haven't clearly mentioned).

This is why I left it off for now, my interpretation was that Hamstring would still be learned at level 36 (unless they change that) but would now be a passive.

The information I have up there is based on what abilities we have at level 20 currently, but of course we don't yet know how the ability level changes will affect that. If we find out that Hamstring is indeed becoming available at 20 or lower I'll put it on.
 
Please add for Mage:
"Frost Armor is now available only to Frost Mages and is now a passive effect."
"Frost Armor now grants 15% chance to Multistrike instead of 7% Haste.."

Thanks for the nice thread!

Edit: Actually that might be an assumption... since it's restricted to Frost Mages and is a passive I figured it was learned on spec selection. But that might not be the case.

"Professions no longer have combat benefit perks tied to them." So no Mining stamina increase, etc?
"Agility no longer provides an increased chance to critically strike with melee and ranged attacks or abilities."
"Intellect no longer provides an increased chance to critically strike with spells."
"Hit and Expertise bonuses on all items and item enhancements (gems, enchants, etc.) have been converted into Critical Strike, Haste, or Mastery." Omg the gearsssssss

just looking at wow head and the stat conversions I'm slightly ticked they didn't convert anything to haste . like simply look for items under lvl 20 with haste and there are maybe 8 now ? almost all of them are mail too so its pretty gay. was hoping for a lot more speedy casting :(_. seems like everything is crit now too .
 
Really nice for arms warriors and fire mages.
And it's going to make ally druids absolute nightmares lol.

Wõrgnfreeman hasn't seen much action recently. That will change.

Changed Wowhead links on the Items post to the WoD version, should properly show the new stats now. Removed all the stuff with Dodge/Parry since it appears those are staying on current gear.
