Stoneform in 1.9 removed Noxious Poison, the non-typed "grenade" debuff that Huhuran throws, as well as granting immunity to Wyvern Sting. It only gives immunity to Wyvern Sting now, and cannot be activated while being slept by Wyvern Sting. The duration of the immunity is eight seconds, so it must be very precisely timed to have any effect on the fight. Paladin shields are an advantage, allowing a paladin to soak bolts for twelve seconds without taking damage, but not so great as one might think: paladins can deck out fairly quickly in the Nature Resistance mail patterns available from Cenarion Circle faction, raising their NR to levels where the bolt is easily handled by the same Prayer of Healing that's keeping up the people around them.
Besides, it's not as if Horde doesn't have their own interesting advantages on this fight. Nature Resistance totem is the obvious one, but I've heard interesting things about what Grounding Totem does on this fight for those guilds willing to give up their NR totem and try it out.
