Soul shards are going to be interesting. I'm still skeptical about the implementation. Though 100 points to Blizzardor for getting those damn things out of my bags.

I'm not surprised by the hunter change. Well, maybe a little. Kind of odd to switch their "dps resource" after 5 years, but whatever. Seems like their aim is to further simplify itemization, which is good, since they seem to folow this trend of simplify-overcomplicate-simplify.

Wonder if they have a plan to tackle the "gifted for gear" classes like Holy Paladins, Moonkins, and Tree Druids who have loot that takes up loot table slots but isn't really transferable to other classes?
