Here's a couple I noticed in testing only recently...
Standing in flames (recent test: fires burning by the Hellforge) I take decreasing damage as I get lower and lower on HPs. When I started the flames were taking off dozens of points per grunt/second and towards the end only a point or so a second. Very noticable. v1.10s. Not sure if this applies to other "trap" damage as well. Looks like Blizzard is trying to be nice to the player. I wonder what the details are.
Somehow I'd failed to notice, that, like the old days pseudo-corpse explosion for Fire Golems (dying--used to be tempting to chain cast them for this), Assassin Shadows are doing an (Assassin-style, not Sorc) Nova on dying. It sure appears to do damage, albeit not a lot. I can't readily test pre v1.10s, so I don't know if I missed seeing this before or if it is a new feature.
