Interesting, if true. Looks like they're trying to shore up the underperforming DPS, though I don't see anything in there for BM hunters.

These are NOT official. They're translated from the Korean WoW site [as you mentioned]...and some things are translated incorrectly. As a blue has clarified:

There could be some other errors in there as well.

Actually they are official. They were released on the Official Korean WoW site. When translated to english some of the words get mixed up in the translation.

The mere fact that GC clarified what the poster was asking and didnt deny any thing in the post should give an idea.

Ugh if the new season isn't coming out until next week ... I guess I'll just farm more

[Zappy]

Shamanism: This talent now increases your Lightning Bolt or Chain Lightning spell damage by 4/8/12/16/20% (Up from 3/6/9/12/15%) and Lava Burst spell damage by 5/10/15/20/25% (Up from 4/8/12/16/20%)

This should help a little against the resilience change.

From MMO-Champion:

Important - Patch 3.3.2 is not this week
After checking with a few people, I can confirm that Patch 3.3.2 will not be deployed this week. It also means that Season 8 will not start this week either, as the season cannot start without the patch.

At this point I'm not sure if it means that we will also have to wait one more week to fight the Lich King. It all depends on whether Blizzard wants to release the encounter and the new season on the same day.
