1. Karazhan and heroics are way harder than normal 5-mans; you need lots of consumables.
2. Gear improvements are too marginal.
3. Keying is too difficult, so if you lose a member, keying a new one is a pain.
4. Most of the 25-man content is not doable by "normal" guilds (i.e. those of us who are not Death and Taxes).
5. There is a lack of healers.
6. There's no reason to have anything but a Warrior MT now.

1. [on consumables] We're discussing various solutions to issues with consumables. We're aware of the issue and agree that it is an issue. With that said, I don't really think Karazhan is overly difficult and requires massive amounts of consumables.
2. [on gear] We're taking another look at the raiding gear. I'd agree with your statement.
3. [on keying] I partially agree and partially disagree. We have some ideas that will help people "catch up" who join the endgame later on. With that said, I'm not so sure endgame players would like the face of the game if everyone had instant access to all of the content. There is something to be said for progression and the sense of accomplishment. Don't get me wrong, we have to be careful not to create a brick wall for new people, but I think there is a balance to be struck here.
4. [on 25-mans being too hard] I agree. As I have already stated on these forums, Magtheridon is proving more difficult than intended. We are planning on toning him down. We've made some minor fixes to Gruul as well but I think that encounter needs to be toned down too. Gruul and Mag should feel like Onyxia did 6 months into vanilla WoW. I don't really agree with points 5 and 6 but I do feel like your previous points all had merit. Hopefully, the changes I mentioned will alleviate some of your worries.

We're going to be doing a tuning pass on our dungeon and raid content to make sure that the point blank damage that Melee dps is taking (in particular rogues) isn't overly harsh.

For example, we'll be changing many monster cleaves to be a directional, 180 degree cone attack, rather than a 360 degree chain melee attack.

Expect these changes in a future patch. More details to come.

Across the board reductions for druids, including:

• Dire bear form armor bonus reduced from 450% to 400%
• Base damage multiplier for mangle (bear) reduced from 130% to 100%
• Predatory Instincts talent changed from +3/6/9/12/15% crit damage bonus to a +2/4/6/8/10% crit damage bonus
• Improved Leader of the Pack can no longer crit
• A buff to moonkin, with moonkin form's armor bonus changed from +360% to +400%

A couple of shadow priest nerfs, including:

• Reduction of Vampiric Embrace's healing from 20% to 15%
• Vampiric Embrace can no longer crit
• The threat reduction talent Silent Resolve no longer affects shadow spells
• Not a shadow priest? No worries: Prayer of Mending now has a 20 second cooldown

Some interesting shaman changes, including:

• The clearcasting effect from Elemental Focus now procs on all (yes, all!) spell critical strikes
• An Unleashed Rage proc will no longer generate additional threat
• The free lightning spell cast from Lightning Overlord will now cause reduced threat
• Stoneclaw totem now has a 50% chance to stun attackers for 3 seconds when struck

A handful of interesting warrior changes, including:

• An approximate +1% critical strike chance overall
• Thunderclap now usable in defensive stance and causes additional threat
• The cooldown on Victory Rush has been removed
• Unbridled Wrath now has a fixed chance to generate rage (higher with slower weapons)
• Charge, Intercept, and Intervene will remove all snare effects (this isn't in the patch notes, but was confirmed by Tseric in the warrior forums)

Other changes:

• The warlock talent Demonic Tactics now grants the warlock and pet with increased critical strike chance instead of increased damage (no numbers given)
• Rage changes should grant an overall 15% to 20% increase in rage generation for warriors and bear druids
