World of Warcraft Patch 2.4

[Tal]

- Turn Undead(Rank 3):This spell has been reworked and has been renamed
to “Turn Evil”. It will now work on Demons in addition to Undead.
Turn Evil is subject to diminishing returns, and lasts 10 seconds in
PvP.

I had to long in and try this in pvp. It successfully allowed me to fear a felhunter so I could get some heals off which made my survival against warlocks go up slightly.

PvP
- Players will now be able to purchase level 70 Superior quality PvP
items from reputation vendors.

This is huge huge huge. I bought the missing pieces for my set (didn't even fully enchant it all) and headed into bgs with a shiney new 300 reslience. The effect was immediate. I immediately got into a scrum on the flag at the mine. Me and another paladin versus initially 3 horde and then a 4th - two of the horde were warriors. We were able to survive until help arrived. In fact I lasted with the judicious use of FoJ and my bubbles until everything was dead. I died to further reinforcements before I could drink.

The ability to have a stepping stone into pvp through these sets is a great boon and while the n00bs could still be a problem as long as they had bought their pvp set they generally could survive long enough for a healer to drop at least ONE heal on them. Great news.
