Patch 4.2 hotfixes for July 14

Another night, another round of hotfixes for patch 4.2. Today's list, posted to the official Warcraft blog, is pretty short -- but it includes some tweaks to heroic encounters in the new Firelands raid. Also included are a welcome fix to those players doing dailies out in the Molten Front and a tweak for those seeking the new legendary weapon.

• In Firelands, Rhyolith's Concussive Stomp damage has been increased on heroic difficulty.

• In the heroic Ragnaros encounter, Molten Elemental move speed has been decreased by 15% on heroic difficulty -- but the adjustment will require a realm restart to take effect.

• Players working on the Peaked Interest quest should no longer experience issues when the Fire Hawk Carry Egg Ping spell is cast.
