Season of Discovery

The % increase to player health that is present in Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin is now also active in Alterac Valley.
Items

Shard of the Gods's summoned minion now has a 20-yard cone (was 40 yards) and will spend the first 3 seconds of its summon to run into range of a target.

Quests

"Stave of the Ancients" Demon NPCs will now respawn much more quickly.

Druid

The bonus on Moonkin Form that increases Moonfire (and Sunfire) periodic damage now increases it by 100% (was 50%).

Hunter

Immolation Trap now has a 7.5 second duration, but still deals the same amount of damage as it did over 15 seconds. This allows it to deliver all its damage before its cooldown is available again.
Raptor Fury now lasts 30 seconds and increases Raptor Strike damage by 15% per application (was 10%).

Mage

Arcane Barrage now has its mana cost correctly reduced by Clearcasting.
Pyroblasts from Hot Streak will no longer consume Clearcasting.

Paladin

Divine Light now has an 8 second cooldown.

Rogue

Main Gauche will now correctly be consumed when you Parry an attack, regardless of the type of enemy you are fighting.
Focused Attacks now refunds 2 Energy from critical strikes (was 3 Energy).
Envenom's erroneous spell power ratio has been removed.

Shaman

Shamanistic Rage now grants the rest of the party and raid 18% of the mana granted to the Shaman (was 10%).

Developers' notes: This change was made to better equalize mana provided to parties and raids.

Warlock

Warlock pets will now correctly benefit from Fel Armor's increase to their master's spell power.

It still consumes Divine Favor buff but doesn't give the 100% crit or mana refund.Comment by DeathisiNerf Paladin's but buff Shaman's. Bet the Devs are loving playing Shaman right now!
This nerf to Hpala is really over the top; if they want to stop people playing Paladin, then this is the way to go about it I agree.Comment by Wakka516Why nerf Divine Light when the spell has not been working properly since P4 PTR?
