All kind of pets will have their own talent tree. A tanking talent tree, a DPS talent tree, and an utility talent tree. Each kind of pet family will have its own talent tree and its own unique ability. The shot clipping will be removed from Steady Shot, you'll be able to use it without "interrupting" your autoshot. Hunters will be able to just smash their button. There are going to be new pets in WotLK. The skill points for each pets are being changed to the new "Pet talents" and will disappear.

Divine Hymn will be a deep-holy talent protecting your party from attackers, any attacks done to you or your party will cause the attacker to be afflicted by sleep. The 51 point talent for Shadow Priests is Dispersion : You disperse into pure shadow energy, reducing all damage taken by -90%. You are unable to attack or cast spells, but you regenerate 6% health and mana every 1 sec for 6 seconds. Guardian Spirit - Calls upon a guardian spirit to heal and watch over the friendly target. The spirit heals the target for 642 every 2 sec, and also prevents the target from dying by sacrificing itself. Lasts 10 seconds.

Mages are getting a Frostfire bolt dealing Frost-Fire damage to make elementalists more viable.
http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/icons/ishamans.gif Shaman
Totems are being "condensed" into a smaller amount of totems, for exemple Strength of Earth and Grace of Air totems will be merged into the same totem A new weapon enchantment will be available "Earthliving Weapon". It will increase the healing power of the Shaman. Flametongue will give spell damage bonus to the Shaman. Totems are being moved to physical school, you can't counterspell anymore. Totems will also affect raid members, not just the local party. Shamans are getting "Hex", a polymorph-like spell on a medium cooldown allowing them to turn an enemy into a frog. The enemy cannot cast or attack but is still in control of his character. Windfury won't be a weapon enchant anymore and will be changed to a buff. You will be able to use it in bear form or with poison.
http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/icons/irogues.gif Rogue
Rogues will get a talent called "Fan of Knives", an AoE ability allowing them to attack all enemies within a short range. It will be some kind of "emergency" ability and you won't be able to spam it. Sap will now work on more targets, humanoids, beasts, dragonkins, demons. "Anything with a skull and a brain inside of it".
http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/icons/ipaladins.gif Paladin
Retribution paladins itemization will be moved to the same item as Warriors/Death Knights A new reactive healing spell will be added - Hand of Purity.
http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/icons/iwarlocks.gif Warlock
Demonic Circle will allow warlocks to scribe a circle in the ground to teleport to it later with another spell. The 51-Point demonogy talent is a Demon-Form, this will allow you cast AOE Shadowbolts
http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/icons/iwarriors.gif Warrior
Titan's Grip will allow warriors to wear 2 hand weapons with a single hand. Protection Warriors are getting a spell called "Shockwave" allowing them to damage and stun all the monsters in front of them. I know we've seen most of them before, but there doing a couple of sweet things to the shaman.
They've also released information about diablo 3, there are some really tidy screenshots available up on the just added D3 website.
