1.6 Leaked Patch Notes

[MongoJerry]

But this change does make it fairly useless in most PvE situations now, where alliance has quite a leg up already. For example, during Onyxia, an Undead tank would have 20 seconds of trying to get aggro on Onyxia and get position right instead of worrying about fear. Now that it's 5 seconds, it pretty worthless. Meanwhile, a dwarf priest can simply keep Fear Ward up on a tank, making this transition period so much easier for Alliance. And that's not the only fight where WotF will become either useless or pretty close to it.

On Tichondrius, at least, it's rare to find an undead Warrior, since the Tauren and Orc racial abilities are generally considered superior. Undead warriors are rare enough that I've heard people describe someone as, "Mick, you know, that undead warrior...".

Pretty much all priests in hard-core guilds should be asked to reroll dwarf priests. Dwarf priests are so overpowered now relatively speaking. If I had a dwarf priest in Warsong Gulch, I'd Fear Ward the two rogues on my team (you have a minute to prebuff people), and then tell them to take out the Horde priests, while the rest of the team runs in a train straight for the enemy flag and back, slaughtering everything in their path. I hope that Fear Ward gets reduced to a 30 second duration or something, because now that WOTF has been nerfed, Fear Ward is just over the top.
