Druid (Forums / Talent Calculator)

    * Lacerate bonus threat has been removed and replaced with increased initial damage done.
    * Efflorescence has a new spell effect.
    * Enrage no longer increases physical damage taken.
    * Lifebloom's bloom effect has been reduced by 20%.
    * Prowl has a new icon.
    * Savage Defense has been redesigned slightly. Instead of a single charge absorption, it now places an absorption effect on the druid absorbing up to 35% of the druid's attack power (modified by mastery, if applicable) in damage and lasting 10 seconds. There are no longer any charges on the effect.
    * Stampeding Roar's duration has been increased to 8 seconds, up from 6. The movement speed effect has been increased to 60%, up from 40% and is no longer cancelled by cancelling shapeshift form.
    * Swipe (Bear) cooldown has been reduced to 3 seconds, down from 6, and is now on trainable at level 18 (training cost has been reduced). In addition, the bonus threat from this ability has been removed and replaced with increased damage done.
    * Swipe (Cat) damage has been doubled.
    * Thrash bonus threat has been removed and replaced with increased damage done.
    * Druids now innately have 100% pushback protection from damage while channeling Tranquility.


Balance

    * Starsurge damage has been reduced by 20%.
    * Solar Beam is now more responsive when enemies move into or out of it.


Feral

    * Berserk is no longer on the global cooldown.
    * Feral Swiftness now also causes Dash and Stampeding Roar to have a 50/100% chance to instantly remove all movement impairing effects from the affected targets when used.


Restoration

    * Gift of Nature (passive) also reduces Tranquility's cooldown by 2.5/5 minutes.
    * Efflorescence has been redesigned. It creates a healing zone at the feet of a Swiftmend target, but this healing zone now restores health equal to 4/8/12% of the amount healed by Swiftmend to the three most injured targets within 8 yards, every 1 second for 7 seconds. This periodic effect now also benefits from spell haste, but the individual ticks cannot be critical effects. In addition, Living Seed is no longer a prerequisite talent for Efflorescence.
    * Malfurion's Gift now reduces the cooldown of Tranquility by 2.5/5 minutes.
    * Nature's Swiftness now also increases the healing done by the affected nature spell by 50%.


Glyphs

    * Glyph of Rake is now Glyph of Pounce, which increases the range of Pounce by 3 yards.


Druid Bug Fixes

    * The troll druid models for Flight Form and Swift Flight Form has slimmed down to be more in scale with other druid flight forms.
    * Druids should no longer have UI issues after leaving a vehicle.

Windstrom threw a Battle Rez while tanking the Lich King last Friday. I don't mean like "While the OT taunted off him", I mean he battle rez'd the OT in between getting hit by Frostmourne. As fun as it was to watch, I don't know that I'd want him to do that again. -Furball

As a feral:
-Enrage not making you get raped is cool.
-"* Savage Defense has been redesigned slightly. Instead of a single charge absorption, it now places an absorption effect on the druid absorbing up to 35% of the druid's attack power (modified by mastery, if applicable) in damage and lasting 10 seconds. There are no longer any charges on the effect." makes add tanking a littler easier.
-Stampeding Roar is now no longer useless as a cat.
-Swipe changes = better aoe threat on targets > 3 for bear. And nice aoe bonus for cat dps.
-Tranq no pushback is kinda cool even for me
-All the threat stuff apparently is going to make it almost exactly equal to what it is now as a bear, BUT in theory with all the damage modifiers we should see about a 10% dps increase, which would be cool for tight enrage timers.
-Berserk off the GCD needed to happen, good change.
-Feral Swiftness bonus is cool for PVP.
-Same for Glyph of Pounce(PVP)

Oh also:

Also, the resto changes are nice.  More than one tranq per raid + no pushback + the eff change for the win.
