Notes for patch: Talent specs: There are some talents which are meant as a core mechanic, you get while you level. If you've read the bluetracker (That is read the lead game designers posts from the American forum) Blizzard assumes you take them. Content is based around you having all the talents, which significantly increases your damage. There are however also many talent which doesn't directly increases your damage, and you have points left to pick some. Power aura and rotation. You still need power aura to show CDs in a useful way. See above. There is a new version. wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/powerauras-classic.aspxRaid frames. The new raid frames are the sex. I will use them. Still clickcasting is awesome. There is already a new version of clique. www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info17863-CliqueCataclysm.htmlLatency - same as always. Deadlybossmods. Still mandatory. Still working if you have latest version. Gear. Rawr is out of date. New mathematical models have to be developed. No one really knows. Still please be hit capped, that means have a zero chance to miss a (skull) level mob. The amount of hit needed will show in your character sheet. There is a reason it is shown there. The crit/haste stats should also mostly be closer to each other in value now. There will be some seasonal bosses, which are a faceroll and drops ilvl 251 items. All triumph and frost badges will be turned into a new current. So triumph=>frost.

This now needs updating, but probably not for a couple of months, as for now we're all in the same (unfamiliar) boat. Let's take another look at it in Jan or Feb.

Actually, not that much. Examples are wrong now. But the point.
One still needs power auras, one still needs DBM and one still needs proper UI set up.
Elitist jerks is telling what the current proper rotation and spec is. And if they are lacking I can still find someone in unity who knows.
It is furthermore advisable to spend some time on the dummy to get a proper feel for it, and ensure that all addons for handling it is running optimally. To be honest this is boring. I've not done this for feral cat, as I'm working on resto+feral tank and my feral dps have been horrible. Seeing how some heroics have bosses which are pretty much impossible, if the dps is low, I'm now only signing as tank/healer.
One change, spell queing is now absolute, press button in the "custom latency window" And you have the next spell cast optimally.
