Alas, this awesome "spin to win" lifestyle is over and I've had to change my 3 mistweavers + mage + brewmaster group as I've picked them up again to a more conventional bm/mw/ww/ww/mage. Much bigger yawn. The important change is the mistweavers now have two stances, and the aoe spinning kick damages in one stance and heals in the other (rather than both, like before) and you can't use your HOT (which was most of my tank healing (hot x 3 meant that you could spend most of your time dpsing and ignoring the tanks health)) if you are in the dps/fistweaving stance.
Yes, when WOD was released they changed MW monks to have two stances each with a different healing style. Only one is heavy on direct healing and the other is heavy on fist weaving. It was like this in the beta as well.

I really really like mistweaving now in single play pve. It has the most action feel still to me.

With the stance dance function, the stance split it has much more significant heals compared to other atonement-esck heals.

If multiboxing, likely want to alert / track orbs for sure ... http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/mworbs
