The End to an Unique Alliance Experience
Patch 3.0.2 is upon us. With it come goodies like new talent trees (bye bye holy, hello Ret on my paladin), inscriptions, the barber shops and more.
The patch will also bring Stormwind Harbor. And a ferry between Auberdine and Stormwind.

About the Difficulty to Write Steady Wrath Beta Commentary: DK Tanking Talents
I probably should have known better. I actually used to.
With the latest beta build, DK tanking talents appear again to spread across all three trees.

Some Blue Posts on Tanking Design Philosophy for Wrath
Looking through recent Blue posts, here are a few interesting tidbits regarding Tank design for Wrath.
Death Knight Talents Revamped, Tanking Now in 2 Trees
In the newest Beta build, it appears that Blizzard decided to reshuffle tanking talents. Where previously these were scattered over the lower tiers of all three trees, we now find them only in Frost and Unholy.[...]
Wrath Paladins: Significant Changes in Healing Techniques Ahead?
From a first look at the paladin spells from 70-80 as displayed on MMO Champion, I was struck by the jump in mana costs for the new two ranks for both Flash of Light and Holy Light.[...]
