On Skeram we have always used the "naked rogue" strategy, but last night the naked rogues were hitting cloth for 4-5k when MCed. Once we figured this out we started sheeping the rogues and it went as smoothly as ever. They definitely changed Skeram's mind control mechanics a bit in 1.12.

I'm not sure on this one. I remember a month or two ago a guildy had an addon which would link T3 sets (in their entirety), and I never saw him crash after using it. Unless that got nerfed, and is now un-nerfed?

The quests for the items were available on the server, so the items were 'known' to the server = you could link them.
Pretty sure that's it.

Hmm good point, didn't really think of that. There would have been somebody on the server with the quests by then I'd say, though I couldn't be certain.

Interesting caching system anyway.

C'thun *IS* doable now... but your timers for phase one will be fucked.

Be careful.

Contrary to the patchnotes vek'nilash still performs ubs on the moment of the port and vek'lor still performs his ae on the moment of porting.

While we've only done Twin Emps twice since the patch, and one guild's experience is hardly enough to use as an accurate sample, it seems that Vek'lor can no longer Arcane Explosion, teleport, and have Vek'nilash immediately Unbalancing Strike afterwards, so I assume that's what the patch notes meant. Can anyone else confirm/deny this?

Also, we haven't attempted C'Thun since 1.12, but I've heard reports that Giant Eyes can no longer be school silenced. That is, when shield bashed/counterspelled, the beam cast is interrupted, but the recast isn't put on a cooldown, so they can begin recasting immediately. I don't know if this applies to normal silences from Imp. Shield Bash or Imp. CS as well, but can anyone confirm this?

I have not seen an Giant Eye to recast immediatly after being interrupted yet.
But as stated they begin to cast right immediatly when they emerge.

Contrary to the patch notes, when we killed Gluth last night the zombie chow did not despawn.

However, wand damage is not actually affected by +spell damage, contrary to what the tooltip says (tested it with both my priestess and my mage). Furthermore, +frost damage items seems to increase the tooltip for an arcane wand, and the unmodified damage range of a wand (prior to the +spell damage bonus) tends to be off by a bit once you wear +spell damage gear.

The Fireguard Destroyer triplets in front of the bar in BRD are now duos. One of each triplet has been removed, making getting to the bar much less painful for a mid 50s group. The triplets in front of the MC entrance are unchanged.

Wand spec appears to just multiply everything by 1.25 (making the +damage amount even more meaningless).

This is highly annoying. Excuse me while i go get my cat reflexes out for all of the mages and rogues.
