Now for the fun part: The fact that the patch absolutely gutted my UI, action bars, and some macros.
While I can live without Auctioneer for a bit, the fact that oPie has trouble recognising the new Trap skills is, uh, problematic for a hunter that uses oPie to set/launch traps. I've no need for ViperNotify any more, and G15 Buttons seems to have survived the transition flawlessly, considering that I've known it to be wrecked by minor patches.
The multiple Call Pet skills is... Annoying. Okay, the Call Stabled Pet interface wasn't perfect, but there doesn't seem to be an option just to call whatever your "current" pet is. My old go-to macro was:
I just like having the ability to call and heal my pet using the same key, and that wasn't always whatever pet was in Call Pet 1, just whatever my last pet was; wolf for general use, gorilla for emergency tanking, cat for PvP. Whichever pet I had loaded in the barrel. There doesn't seem to be a way around this at the moment.
Also, the profession panes are poor. What the hell was so wrong with the old panes that Blizzard replaced them with this... aberration? Doesn't sort items in the logical way that the old pane did, messes up its own filters; such as filtering both by whatever gives skillups and has materials for, then listing a single grey recipe that you lack materials for, and often requires closing and reopening. I know this may sound nitpicky, but for crying out loud why couldn't they just have stuck the "gives skillups" filter on the old pane rather than breaking it irretrievably.
Pet talents get wiped when dumping them in a stable, for both specs? Fuuuuuuun. I long for a add-on that can store and manage the 50 different pet specs that a full stable would require. 'til then, I'm just going to fill up my pet slots with as much pre-Cata pets as I want and hope such an add-on exists before I decide shooting myself in the head with a zipgun is a good idea.
Might sound a little grouchy, but I was oddly fond of my old interface and the patch did a lot of stupid things, such as removing Hearthstones, food, and potions from action bars. For as long as it'll take me to get things back to normal (for both specs), I'm not really "playing", and if I'm not playing, I'm getting annoyed.
Edit: Decided to pop on my Death Knight to check out the lowered cost of the Dual Spec system and discovered to my equal delight and horror that his Raise Ghoul spell has 24 days of a 2 minute cooldown remaining. Whuh?

When in mortal danger,
When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
Wave your arms and shout.
