Anticipation gives more avoidance now (3.2% from defense+20) and I imagine defense is going to be all over the place as all 3 plate tanks will need it.

Glad to see Blizzard finally learned that Shamans got raped while they were stunned/feared etc. Astral Plane is definately a nice addition that will increase Shamans already poor survivability in WoW. : p
I'm loving some of the new elemental talents, I'm happy to see they're trying to give shamans even more benefit towards the party as well as making their actual spells more interesting than just hit X and do X damage.
So far the one tanking quest reward I've seen had +48 defense rating. That is from a level 70ish quest, mind you.
I was also wondering they were going to go for more agility on plate compared to crit/dodge/parry, and try to homogenize some pieces so that they are usable for both DPS and tanking. Granted that would lead to sub-par pieces for both specs, but it seems like something they are trying to do (spell damage change, etc).
I'll take agi over int, that's for sure. If they give us int on our tier again they better make it so holy shield absorbs 100% magical damage of our int or something, so that int is actually useful for us.
I do have more abilities that can crit now, but I'm kinda doubting agi will increase my exorcism crit rate...so not so sure I would like agi on gear. But crit rating wouldn't be terrible for my threat sets, str isn't that effective for me though unless they change how much STR you need for more BV.
it's very fun. It's worth doing even if you don't plan on playing a death knight.

^this guy is making note/taking videos of his progress while leveling Deathknight.
Blood DK is fucking silly shit! It seems like there is no down time at all lol.
I'm pretty sure I know the first thing i'll be doing in wotlk. :D
i want to reiterate that thunder(storm) is badass
The deep talents in Holy are really bad (don't know why blizzard picked up a hardon about making Holy use Judgements), but speccing down into Ret for Conviction (since the 5% crit will apply to spells now too) and especially Sheath of Light is gonna be beast for Holy Paladins.
Holy Shock looks to be ALOT better now too, It's almost as mana efficient as Flash of Light, cooldown down to 6 seconds, and crits will make Holy Light instant cast.
Druids for the ethical and humane treatment of animals.
so which race racial would you guys say could most benefit DKns PVP-wise?
Stealthed DK would be badass.
The blood tree has a few talents regarding total health, so tauren is probably a strong choice for 5% more health and a stun never hurts.
i'm thinking since they have that pull-enemy-to-you spell gnome racial might not be all that useful
but blood elf racial is great for pvp dude, especially for a melee class, i always wanted a BE warrior
Dragonblight is a pretty incredible zone.
