Breakfast Topic: Looking forward to the patch?

We now know that the next patch is coming out on December 5th -- Blizzard has given us a week's warning on this one, presumably to allow PvPers time to try to get in those last ranks in the last week of the honor system. What's the new patch have in store for us?

  • New honor system (old ranks will be scrapped)

  • Revised talent trees (up to 41 points) for all classes)

  • New LFG system

  • Changes to +spell damage (making lower rank spells receive less, HoTs/DoTs/channeled spells receive more)

  • Stacking HoTs

  • Resilience

  • Weapon skill changes (no longer reduces the percent damage lost due to glancing, adds a minor amount of +crit)

  • Crowd control effects reduced to a maximum of 12 seconds in PvP with a higher resist chance.

  • New arenas

  • Agility change (1AGI == 1AP) for hunters

  • Rage normalization for warriors

  • Skill level required for disenchanting

  • Signifigant UI changes and the death of Decursive

With some of these good and some of these not so good, are you looking forward to the patch or getting the most out of your time pre-patch?
