Given the class limitations it is most likely a healing orientated mace however with universal spell power now shadow priests, boomkins and elemental shamans will also want a piece of it.

I know my Elemental shaman will :)

We’ve made some changes to several dungeons to allow easier access for players in the upcoming patch.

The ritual objects that used to require 3 players to activate in Blackrock Spire and Uldaman now only require 1.
You no longer need quintessence to summon Majordomo Executus.
You no longer need the Scepter of Celebras to teleport to the final section of Maraudon.
You no longer need the Mallet of Zul’Farrak to summon Gahz’rilla.

The Scepter and Mallet both turn into actual weapons.

Thread here.

Highlights include:

• Players may now create death knights on any realm once they reach level 55.
  Racial restrictions on mounts have now been lifted. Night elves on mechanostriders? Tauren on raptors? You’re not seeing things.
• Tapping: All player spells which cause a creature to become aggressive to you will now also immediately cause the creature to be tapped.
• All flasks no longer require an alchemy lab to create.
• The Obsidian Sanctum: Players will now be affected by Twilight Residue when they leave the Twilight Realm. Twilight Residue grants immunity to Fire and Shadow damage for a few seconds.
• The Wintergrasp Aura should now properly update in all instances, transferring the buff when the zone control changes.

You can read the full listing here or here.

Customisation will cost $15 and does not include race or class it does however include the characters name. So in effect instead of just changing the name of a character now, you can also change the race and facial features.

Ghostcrawler explains the philosophy behind the DK changes as:

* Making tanking still rely on cooldowns, but rely on them a little less.
* Make Blood a more attractive spec, and particularly for tanking.
* Chill out some of the defensive capabilities all DKs have in PvP.
* Avoid having to use Death and Decay as an out-of-combat runic power generator.

Blizzard poster Nerimash explains that the Mage changes:

are designed primarily to make Arcane more competitive with Fire / Frostfire builds in PvE. Because they could end up buffing Arcane in PvP, we are prepared to adjust the damage of say Arcane Barrage if needed, but we want to see these in action on the PTR first.

Highlights include:

Evocation – cooldown reduced to 4 min.
• Arcane Flows – now also reduces the cooldown of Evocation by an additional 1 / 2 min.
• Arcane Blast – overhauled. Will now increase the damage of your next Arcane spell by 30%. However using Arcane Blast itself does not consume the charge, but instead increases the mana of your next Arcane Blast, up to a maximum of 3 stacks. You can alternate Blast and Barrage to keep buffing Barrage, or you can build Blast up higher for a heavy mana cost.
• Torment the Weak – now works with Arcane Blast and does bonus damage to targets afflicted by any kind of slowing effect (e.g. Thunder Clap).
• Elemental Precision – renamed Precision and now works on all spells.
• Improved Blizzard – snaring effect reduced to 20/40/50%.
