You're missing a huge bug on your list.

While I have not tested it very recently, the last patch introduced a bug with Corruption being refreshed by Everlasting Affliction. When EA refreshes corruption, it reverts the base coefficient from 120% back to the original 93.6%. It's actually a pretty huge bug in terms of DPS-loss. This should definitely be on the list.

3. Corruption: At times, even while Haunt is on the target, people are noticing Corr falling off the target for what seems to be no reason at all. This ends up having the same implications as the Immolate bug from above.

This isn't actually a bug. That's how EA works with corruption. If the duration of the spell is not long enough to get in another tick, it will truncate the spell. So, for example, if corruption ticks with 2.8 seconds left, it can't have another tick before expiring, so the DoT simply falls off.

I haven't seen discussion on pet pathing, but it seems that pet pathing has reverted to where it was several patches before expansion. Specifically, when resolving drop offs (such as Gluth's sewer pipe entry or Thaddius' platform jump), pets will try to negotiate a walkable path rather than just drop with their owners.

This was fixed many, many patches ago but appears to have been broken again.

instant cast incinerates appear to use up a backdraft charge

I'd guess instant shadowbolts do also.

This probably isn't a bug. Just because it can't reduce the cast time further doesn't mean it should skip backdraft being applied to that spell.

Next patch, Backdraft is supposed to reduce the GCD as well. When that becomes the case, an instant Incinerate will still derive some benefit from Backlash, effectively 'fixing' the problem. It's sub-optimal use I suppose, but not a waste, and there are situations where you would want that to be the effect anyways. Currently, I would consider that not working as intended but expect no intermediate fix with the new change coming in soon.

I've had a lot of mixed luck with this. Sometimes my pet jumps down with me (seemed to work in Gun'drak), but in other places, like Naxxaramas, my pet completely fails.

So, I wouldn't say it's completely broken, but instead that it was probably never completely fixed to start with.

Noticed that too, though in my case at Gluth's when i jump down i don't see my felguard.After i put it on passive and then attack again it appears next to me.
On Thaddius jump i always need to resummon it.

Leshrac89 · 12/17/08, 7:32 AM

What I do on those fights is running away from the pet (around 30-35 yards) then press Follow again and it respawns next to me.

I noticed a spew of blue posts on the official ptr forums, I guess we should make posts there (1 post per bug), probably after verifying that the bugs still exist on the PTR.

Waxar · 12/17/08, 5:22 PM

Just tested the Shadow Embrace bug on the 3.0.8 PTR and the issue still exists.

It works for me when I use the Voidwalker, but nothing else. Really strange and extremely annoying on Gluth/Thaddius.

So the SE bug is claimed fixed on PTR
World of Warcraft - English (NA) Forums -> [Bug] Shadow Embrace

This has not been my experience. I've had 2 cases where my imp was re-set to Aggressive after dying to one of the 3 packs in first boss of Azjol-Nerub. I know this because my default set up is always passive to all my pets at all times. I send my pet in using ctrl-1, so there's no chance of miss-clicking during a fight that accidentally re-sets to Aggressive. I am afflic spec with no glyphs on pets.

Agreed...works ok on gluth, but i have to resummon on thaddius also...
probably best to just dismiss him, and then resummon him as soon as you stack up in front of thadd

Why do you bother dismissing? Just resummon.
