Exactly.
And this isn't a "hardcore vs casual" issue at all. As I noted in the OP, I've encountered people in high end guilds who were missing information on their class and playing according to the old rules. You can say "well they should have done some research" but what does that mean? I'm supposed to research to find a change that I'm not even aware of?
Here's one for you - a
very talented and well geared shaman in an old guild of mine never took the Healing Wave talent that reduced cast time b y 0.5 seconds. Reason why? His understanding is that +Heal/Dmg is reduced according to the cast time of the spell. He had
no idea that talents which change cast times are not subject to that rule. But there's no info of this sort anywhere to be found on any official WoW source. Sure, WoWwiki.com has info on this stuff, but Blizzard has also said that they do not expect their players to need to use 3rd party sources for anything. Blizzard themselves should be the defining resource for information,
but they aren't.
