For those that may have missed the link Osse posted, here is an expanded version of the 2.2 raid notes.
Archimonde
- Archimonde's Fear had a recast time that could be very inconsistent, which would cause problems for tanks who were waiting to react to the fear being cast. Along with making the fear more consistent, the minimum time between fears has been increased and the casting time will be 1.5 seconds.
- Grip of the Legion will not be able to target players who were just Air Burst, and it now has a non-infinite range.
- Red Soul Charges silence for 4 seconds instead of 6 seconds.
- The bug where Priests with Spirit of Redemption creating two Soul Charges on death is fixed.
Mother Shahraz
- The players targeted by Saber Lash now gain the immunity to Sinister Beam and Fatal Attraction, regardless of whether or not Saber Lash actually landed.
- Shahraz will now pick a new beam to cast after every 3rd cast, instead of every 5th.
- The first two seconds of Fatal Attraction now deals reduced damage.
- Prismatic Shield has been completely reworked. The shield is no longer adaptive. She periodically picks a random school to be resistant to, and the "opposite" school gets a bonus. Casters rejoice.
- In a later patch, we're blocking off some of the nastier places to get placed by Fatal Attraction, and the "Couches of Death" we'll be fixed. In the meantime, you should be able to mitigate a problematic Fatal Attraction teleport by tanking Mother Shahraz away from these locations.
- Also in a later patch, we'll be able to disable the "decreased melee swing time" effect caused by Mother Shahraz parrying a melee attack. The parry mechanic is exacerbating the already rather intense burst damage that Mother Shahraz can inflict.
Reliquary of the Lost
- Essence of Desire's Spirit Shock and Rune Shield will no longer be able to be cast nearly simultaneously. We added in a very small, but very significant delay in between the two.

It is particularly germane that Blizzard would note the parry mechanic (however only specifically in relation to Mother Shahraz?) due to Quigons recent experiences.
Also, my guild is currently on Shahraz (however, we havent actually started the trash to her yet), I'm assuming this is a fairly large nerf? Regardless, the Spirit of Redemption on Archimonde and the Spirit Shock/Rune Shield are very much welcomed changes.
