Patch 5.4 hotfixes for October 23

A very short list of hotfixes for patch 5.4 was released and announced yesterday on the official blog. The changes this time around are very minor, and largely involve some nerfs to the Siege of Orgrimmar raid on Raid Finder difficulty, the last wing of which was opened this week. The changes should make it a little easier for players hitting up Raid Finder this week.

• Blood spec death knights, Death Strike's healing has been reduced by 50% in Arenas.

• Several changes were made to various parts of the Garrosh Hellscream encounter on Raid Finder difficulty. These changes will need a realm restart to take effect.
