Prob a good thing, there's really not much choice but to homogenize tanks to the most basic attributes.

Update - Added official notes update at the bottom of the post. Some of these changes aren't on PTR yet as far as I know and aren't included in the spell comparison below. Make sure you check both.

Official Notes Update
The official patch notes have been updated with more changes. Only the new changes are listed below.
Quote from: Zarhym (Source)
Dungeons & Raids
Holiday bosses (such as Ahune for the Fire Festival) will now be accessible through the Dungeon Finder.

* Players must use the Dungeon Finder or speak to special holiday NPCs in the world to queue up and access these bosses.
* Upon accepting a queue for any holiday boss, the party will be ported directly to the necessary area for confronting that boss.
* The previous summoning criteria for these bosses have been removed. Players can queue up for and fight each World Event boss as many times as they want for any standard loot that they may drop.
* All rare holiday items (such as The Horseman's Reins) will have a chance of being found in holiday-themed loot troves which will drop once for each player in the party no more than once per day, in the same manner that doing the Random Dungeon daily quest will provide a specific reward the first time it is completed in a day.


Companion Pets

* The Pet Bombling and Lil' Smoky non-combat pets are no longer Bind-on-Pickup.


Death Knight (Forums / Talent Calculator)

* Chains of Ice: The ability now innately applies Frost Fever to a target.

Frost

* Icy Talons: The personal haste benefit provided by this talent is no longer exclusive with other sources of melee haste. This will allow death knights to always swing 4/6/12/16/20% faster when Frost Fever is applied. Windfury Totem and the party/raid component of Improved Icy Talons still do not stack.

Unholy

* Unholy Blight: In addition to its previous effects, this talent now also prevents diseases from being dispelled from victims afflicted by Unholy Blight.


Druid (Forums / Talent Calculator)

* Nature's Grasp: Now has 3 charges, up from 1.

Balance

* Starfall: Te damage done by this spell has been significantly increased.
* Typhoon: Mana cost reduced to 25%, down from 32%.


Hunter (Forums / Talent Calculator)
Beast Mastery

* Ferocious Inspiration: This ability is now an aura and provides 1/2/3% damage to all party or raid members within 100 yards and boosts the damage of Steady Shot by 3/6/9%.


Rogue (Forums / Talent Calculator)
Subtlety

* Slaughter from the Shadows: Now adds 1/2/3/4/5% damage to all attacks and reduces the energy cost of Backstab and Ambush by 4/8/12/16/20, up from 3/6/9/12/15.
* Waylay: The debuff from this talent can now be caused by Backstab in addition to Ambush and can be triggered by all hits from these abilities rather than just critical strikes, but the snare component is now 50%, down from 70%.


Warlock (Forums / Talent Calculator)

* Life Tap: This spell no longer scales with spirit, and instead scales with spell power.


Warrior (Forums / Talent Calculator)
Protection

* Vitality: Now boosts Stamina by 3/6/9%, up from 2/4/6%. Strength and expertise benefits have not changed.

wow @ dk pvp buff

Intricate Bone Figurine (Daily Quest) - Craft an Intricate Bone Figurine by combining the Proto Dragon Bone with a Sun Crystal and a Dark Jade. (Old - Chalcedony + Dark Jade)

They got half of this fix right. At least chalcedony will stop being such a pain in the ass to buy at the AH.

40 energy Backstab is pretty sexy but I doubt we'll see a viable Subtlety build in raids till they renerf poisons and replace HaT with something good.

[Khelek]

Like prenerf HaT!

[Guitarman]

Spoiler: show

FUCK. YES.

[Meresgi]

About time for the disease dispel buff. Awesome

[Miraun]

Tracking Stats (These stats will most likely be used internally to identify "bad" players)

* Kicked in LFG (follower) (hidden) - Number of times the player kicked someone in LFG, voting, but not initiating
* Kicked in LFG (target) (hidden) - Number of times the player has been kicked by someone in LFG
* Kicked in LFG (initiator) (hidden) - Number of times the player kicked someone in LFG, initiating the kick
* Abandoned LFG (hidden) - Number of times the player abandoned an LFG dungeon
* Completed LFG (hidden) - Number of times the player completed an LFG dungeon

Aww man... I wish these stats were visible. Pair this up with no cooldown to kick = Epic.

What would Blizzard do if they find a 'bad' player?

[Norellicus]

It's just metrics data so they can see how people (ab)use the vote kicking, blizzard really doesn't care about "bads" if they aren't breaking the rules.

[Ohaigaiz]

* Chains of Ice now infects the target with Frost Fever.


Glyphs

* Glyph of Chains of Ice - Your Chains of Ice also causes 144 to 156 Frost damage, increased by your attack power.

PUT. DR. ON. CHAINS OF FUCKING ICE

[Norellicus]

PUT. DR. ON. CHAINS OF FUCKING ICE

God, this

[Boyiee]

God, this

But why would you wan't DR on chains of ice?!?? It's perfectly fine and intended, fair and a legit tactic to be spammed chained of ice while chasing a shaman or druid around a pillar 200 times.

[Druin]

Dungeon Finder - best thing to happen to WoW in a looooong time....

[EternityEnd]

Another priest counter-class. Lovely.

Can't just give their diseases dispel resistance like everyone else? Have to make them completely undispellable? Can my DoTs be undispellable?

Waving the pendulum from one extreme to another will work, guys.

[Ezek]

If I still arena'ed I'd have a boner atm from the Unholy Blight change

[Lexa]

...man, I'm going to hurt in arena with the DK disease change.

From my understanding it's not an immune mechanic, if I priest throws up abolish disease and dispel magic? Not sure what UB is considered but I think it's just a buffer so shamans cant toss down a cleansing totem and lol.

[Plow]

UB is physical damage, BoP will stop it but I'm not sure if it will actually remove it. It definitely has no curse/disease/poison/magic status for dispelling.

[SamanosukeShiva]

what's gonna be different with glyph of chains of ice? just read the current stat, no difference.

[Tricen]

It makes chains of ice a lower rank icy touch basically.

[Senoska]

Dislike @ the tailoring changes. Removing the cooldown will kill the profit margins

[Onorgul]

It's already killing my profit.
