The Macintosh change sounds fishy as if it was thrown in just to have something listed in a macintosh section that other patch notes have.
The druid section sounds strange when it says "Your base damage in..." like it's talking directly to druid players instead of all players. In addition, the new talents seem to have given druids a carbon copy of the priest shadow tree. Hrmm...
I'm also skeptical about shaman totems being affected by AoE. Wasn't this already decidedly bad in beta? Perhaps totems do need to be a bit easier to kill but AoE seems too easy from a PvP standpoint if the majority of totems still have 5HP.
Then there's also the already mentioned technical hurdles regarding other changes.
All in all I think it would be a great patch if it were released and if they're fake maybe some of those ideas will make it into a real patch.
