"Gigantique" bags make it possible for Spangles to carry 80 items at all times. Four 22 slot bags replaced four 20 slot inventory bags, which in turn replaced four 18 slot bank bags, for a total of 16 new slots. All this for the price of 15 days of dailies, such a deal.
Carrying everything enables a typical evening of raiding, farming, heroic instances and battlegrounds with a minimum of shuffling things in/out of the bank. Switching gear is performed instantly with ItemRack and StanceSets. The built-in bag carries the usual food, pots, & supplies for raiding & battlegrounds.
Stuff that is always in inventory:
Armor & jewelry for tanking, DPS, farming, and battlegrounds
Armor & jewelry for arcane, fire, frost, and nature resist (the shadow resist set, scrounged on the AH, remains in the bank)
Clothing and jewelry for formal and informal occasions
Weapons: the kitchen sink
Odds/ends: Nitebane summoner, enchanting rod, gem grinder, tiger, hippogryph, bullets and arrows
No room for:
Pets, happy fun rocks, snowballs, disco lites, romantic picnic baskets
Farming with only 10 or 12 open slots is impractical. Gear is arranged so that one bag can be swapped with an empty bag from the bank, providing 30 slots for drops & temporary quest items. These slots fill up quickly, and every opportunity for mailing/selling is important to maximize the yield from a round of dailies.
Blizzard has made it easier and more profitable to farm with the new bags. I wish that they would also make it easier to switch between two sets of talents. A typical evening starts in protection mode for raiding, then fury for farming and battlegrounds, then back to protection for an instance, and raiding the next day. That takes 100g / day right off the top, which has only become affordable because of the 300g / day gleaned from dailies.
I don't understand why they give us all this stuff to do, then impose a stiff tax for doing it. The implication is that I'm supposed to level three warriors, one each for ms, fury and protection. Nuts to that. A cooldown would be appropriate to avoid strange exploits, but whatever rationale exists for the respec tax seems out of date.
