There is some amazing news on the next expansion coming out of a Gamespy article with some of the developers. Some of the highlights?
The Death Knight explained.
In a move that is already creating debate and controversy...Raiding will be undergoing some big changes. There will be no attunements to any 10/25 man raid in WotLK, and any 25man raid will have a 10 man version. This is HUGE news, and seen by many as a 'step in the right direction'. Others feel that Blizz is way off base here. Time will tell.
There are also a few more tidbits that have come out.
10-man and 25-man versions of every raid dungeon, and the 10-man version's raid lock won't interfere/overlap with the 25-man version.
I forsee a lot of agonizing among raid leaders over what to hit first and how often =)
Hopefully the 10-man versions will be easy enough compared to the 25-man version that you can focus scheduled raids on the 25-man lock and folks can just guild-PUG the 10-man version on off-nights.
EDIT- I also read that the tiered sets dropping in a 10-man version will use the same art/textures as the 25-man version, but with different coloring (similar to current arena gear). More importantly, much like multiple seasons of arena gear, the 10 man set pieces will mingle with the 25-man set pieces for purposes of aquiring the 2 and 4 piece set bonuses.
So you can pick up 10-man set pieces to compliment the 25-man pieces you've aquired and obtain those set bonuses earlier, perhaps.
