That's my thought as well. You get pretty close to revered with them by the time you have enough emblems to buy anything useful anyway. Now if the commendations provided a bit of honor to go with the rep, this change would be something to get excited about.Quote:

It's important to note though that the next draft of the 4.0.6 patch notes to be posted are double the size of the notes currently on the home page of our website. There are many new notes for virtually every class yet to be posted.
Shaman (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Beta Skills/Talents)
- Chain Heal’s effectiveness has been increased by approximately 10%.
- Hex now has a PvP duration of 8 seconds.
- Purge now dispels a single effect instead of two.
- Tremor Totem has been redesigned. The totem is now usable under Fear, Charm, or Sleep effects, and pulses much more rapidly, but lasts 6 seconds and has a 1-minute cooldown.
Elemental Combat
- Earthquake damage has been increased by approximately 10%.
Enhancement
- Flametongue Weapon damage now scales from attack power instead of spell power (for Enhancement shaman only).
- Purge no longer has its mana cost reduced by Mental Quickness.
Restoration

[...] I'm still working to finish the latest patch notes. You can likely expect the updated notes to hit tomorrow evening.
Personally, I like the tremor change. Its basically a fear trinket on a 1 min cd.
A group-wide fear trinket on a 1 min cd.
I dont care for it, would rather it remained the same. I dont like these changes at all, even if it is for all CCs.
yay for earthquake buff.....

They did say they've got a lot more changes that they haven't announced yet. Hopefully there'll be some buffs for Ele in there. Looks like they got hit pretty hard so far.
