Things that interest me...
The Heroic difficulty nerfs are just crazy. All the uber super-hard-hitting mobs that have been mentioned on these forums in the past few weeks have been nerfed. The absolutely crazy-ridiculous damage numbers are apparently a thing of the past. The mobs that they listed as buffing in heroic difficulty are all the ones that were weak and not tuned up for the difficulty (like, ironically, some bosses). This should make Heroics more consistent, instead of the "we're clearing, we're clearing, we're clearing, OH CRAP HERE COMES THE TRASH MOB THAT CAN 2-SHOT AN EPIC TANK." :)
Still, I'll sound like an elitist jerk here and say that if you never got to try the uber-heroics before 2.1, you missed out on some crazy (and often frustrating) stuff.
Overall, kinda disappointed that Blizzard chose to go the route of nerfing Paladin healing instead of buffing Priest healing in order to bring them in line. Not surprised, just disappointed. Priests are still paper healers who die far too easily, especially in heroics and PvP - where is our Inner Fire fix, for starters?

Interesting - not only is Binding Heal now a wonderful spell, it also can't be stuttered by damage on a holy-spec'ed Priest with the Hallowed set. This makes it the number 1 "oh crap" heal after Desperate Prayer. So, when are they going to fix the incredibly lame Priest Tier 4 2-pc bonus?

already the case.

been changed to 30% chance to resist losing casting time off "Binding
Heal" when taking damage.
