I found the change to wands as auto-shot very surprising. This was something that was asked for all beta long and I could SWEAR Blizzard said that there was no way they were going to do it.

Just tried this out with my priest. Wand DPS is really is much higher (no reliable way to measure but it is easy to tell that I shoot much more often--I feel like a machine gunner). The post above estimated the DPS increase as 30-40% and that feels conservative to me if anything. No need to worry about dagger timing now. Wand specialization looks to be worth the points. This is a major change as I can do decent damage with mobs in my face without PW:S.
I can't think this is here to stay.
