Since the patch I have...

Spent 1K gold and will never respec again for needing to heal/dps.
Earned 1K gold faster than ever before because I now have 5dps shaman for questing dailies.
Had more fun than I have in the past 3 years raiding - Flame Leviathan is an absolute blast. I can't wait to take 2nd seat on a catapult!
Looted all sorts of crap 5 boxing without needing to worry about my mouse.
Opened NPC's in crowded areas without any issues. (again 5 boxing.)

All said and done, I think they did a damn fine job with this patch - new content, challenging content, great UI features.
