This is not official until Blizzard comfirms it:
From a source:
Q u o t e:
* Herbalism Primary Gathering for Inscription - Blizzard made sure everyone understands that both melee and caster classes will benefit from inscription, and also that the base gathering profession for inscription will be herbalism.
* Party Buffs to Raid Buffs - Many buffs that only effect parties will not span the entire raid group. Examples of these changes are Shaman totems, Unleashed Rage, and Battle Shout just to name a few.
* Dynamic Line of Sight?? - A unique idea has come out this week. Arenas will have items in them that will move around every once in a while. When these items shift location they will change the line of sight attributes of the entire arena play. This make teams be more reactive to their terrain, and not able to camp positions so easily. As many of you know, position is one of the biggest keys we preach in our arena sections of the Spugnort's Ultimate PvP Guide. If you haven't checked it, now is a great time to do so...we promise you won't be disappointed!
* Dire Cat Form - This could be a very interesting twist to the feral druid tree. All we know as of right now is that Druid will be awarded some sort of Dire Cat Form. What exactly Dire Cat Form does remains a mystery. So let the speculation begin!
* Retribution Paladins Share Gear - Ret Pally's will share gear with DPS Warriors and Death Knights. This will make it far less frustrating when that "Ret Paladin" gear drops and you don't even have one in your party or raid. They also plan to make Ret Paladin DPS more effective, and slightly less gear dependant.
* DPS and Protection Warrior Changes -Blizzard wants to give DPS warriors the ability to tank when called upon without always changing talent specs, and they also would like to give Protection Warriors the ability to DPS a little better without changing specs. One of the moves towards this will be the Shockwave Talent for Protection Warriors.
* Heroic Instances Will Be "Easier" - This doesn't necessarily mean that you will breeze through instances with all green gear. First, they are removing attunement for the heroic instances. Second, they are trying to balance fights so that no encounters call for a specific type of tank. This will make it much easier to pull together a viable group for an instance.
* Hunter Pets Have Exclusive Talent Trees - All hunter pets will now have three separate talent trees just like a normal character. They will have a tanking talent tree, a DPS talent tree, and a utility talent tree. Each type of pet will also have a completely different talent tree compared to other pet types. This is a great addition to the game, and really has been long overdue. Bravo Blizzard for finally getting around to implementing this idea!
Let the QQing (discussion) begin :-)

Q u o t e:
...most of this was confirmed at the WWI you realize...
*nods*
I hope the OP feels grateful for the fact that they found legitimately released content to post, otherwise they would have found themselves having a much more permanent vacation, yes? ;)
Yes, Virginia, there is a Diablo 3.

Q u o t e:
Neth, any word on why Jeff Kaplan wasnt there (or was it Tom Chilton? It was one or the other)
Also, Tseric still works for Blizzard? o.o
Mr. Cook is also a very nice press person don't you think.
Edit: 1st time being quoted by a blue
Edit 2: did a mage just tell a blue to shut up?
Mr Kaplan was here continuing to work while a select group of developers made an appearance at the Worldwide Invitational.
No, there was a mistake on an article that was corrected and yes, Mr. Cook is a very nice press person as were all of the fansites that were able to attend. :) It was great getting to meet everyone who I hadn't had the chance to before.
