edit: Further down in the discussion, at the link above, someone asks what Gnaw/Lock Jaw is. It says:

i believe they switched infected wounds and primal aggresions places and also changed each.
infected wounds while being much cheaper now reduces movement speed and attack speed by up to 50% so the mindnumb version is gone(possible rogues may get an attackspeed slowing posoin?)
new primal aggression goes up has 5 points required also meaning a 10% increase to shred and maul on bleeding targets/50% extra crit for ferocious bite on bleeding targets to.
seems to be they are making bearform much more dps orientated again and are finally bringing back the scalling we used to have(maul damage increased by mangle, also increased another 10% for one application of lacerate, also the melee attack speed reduction with infected wounds making us more anti-melee than we are currently)
i love the prospect of the new berzerk though for bear, makes for a real nice damage reduction when applying 3 stacks to 3 melee mobs at one time of infected wounds. that and the new kind of the jungle is very attractive, 60 energy restored every 30 seoonds on tigers fury use(hello rogue trinket?) and a nice 15% increased damage while enraged.
i think it's safe to say infected wounds will stay given it's actually very balanced
paladins have cleanse/BoP would make them immune to both it's affects
shamans have remove disease/totem/only lasts 6 seconds on a pvp spec
priests have aboloish/remove disease
druids themselves can remove it via shifting
rogues can use CoS to remove it
good amount of classes have counters to it but at the same time it's also still effective given its automatic application on use of mangle/maul and shred.
lets not mention activating berzerk and then hitting tigers fury for 60 energy regen and a quick burst potential.
that' my take anyway(though the new primal aggresion im unsure about how i feel)
