Oh no, a first-look patch note was posted and I wasn't buffed. Call the WAAAHMBULANCE.

Every other class plays different with alternate speccs, only DK will be hitting the same buttons over and over again, I really think that's the worst thing for me.

This, and the fact that they just completely ignored Unbreakable Armor are the worst for me. DPSing in blue stance has never been fun, but now it will actively be a chore. I feel like they rushed the notes out before even considering how godawful Unbreakable Armor was. I mean, it was bad before potential nerfs, but after? 5% armor loss hurts it even further, and the talent honestly needs a complete overhaul... Again.

My kneejerk reaction is despair, even though in the back of my head I know that most of these changes won't make it to live. They're just too sweeping. Everything got hit, and then they nerfed threat on top of that (Frost Strike was already lackluster for tanking due to competition for resources with Rune Strike, but now it can be parried and dodged? Gee thanks). I guess we'll see.
