Patch 2.4 Changes

Many of you bloggers out there have posted extracts of 2.4 notes. I found a nice concise list over on Girl Meets WoW, so one shameless Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V later...

General Changes
  • New fishing daily quests!
  • Spell haste is being changed to reduce the global cooldown on spells (down to a minimum of 1 second).
  • Loot off of Kazzak and Doomwalker will now be BoE.
  • When respeccing, you'll no longer have to retrain every rank of a talented spell.
  • Enchanters will now be able to convert void crystals into 2x large prismatic shards, on a 24 hour cooldown.
  • A combat log overhaul is in the works.
PvP Changes
  • No more diminishing returns on honor. None!
  • Instant honor calculations. No more waiting until the next day to buy that piece of gear, huzzah!
  • Vendors for AB/WSG/AV will now offer level 70 blues for sale for gold, for players of sufficient reputation.
Dungeon & Raiding Changes
  • 25-man raid bosses will now drop three tier set tokens instead of two, as well as significantly more gold.
  • Scale of the Sands reputation rate gain increased.
  • Heroic-level gems will not be unique-equipped anymore.
  • Improved loot options for bind-on-pickup items (and no more confirmation window for things like Badges of Justice).

Class Changes
  • A ret pally reitemization is in the works.
  • Players will now be limited to 80 Conjured Manna Biscuits in their inventory at one time. (Take that, mage table ninjas!)
  • Priests can now cast fear ward in shadowform.
  • Warlocks inside an instance will now be able to summon players who are outside the instance.
  • Warriors' Endless Rage will now provide significantly more rage, and off-hand Whirlwind crits will now trigger Flurry and Rampage.
  • Healing Grace will now reduce the chance of shamans' spells to be dispelled by 10/20/30%.
  • Druids' Lacerate will now scale with feral attack power.
