-Turn Undead is now subject to diminishing returns.
-Turn Undead now lasts 10 sec. in PvP.
Rogue
-Envenom no longer consumes the Poison applications.
Shaman
-Lightning Bolt: Spell coefficient reduced by $
-Lightning Overload can no longer proc on instant cast spells. (aka NS+CL won’t proc it)
-Lightning Overload can no longer critically hit.
-Tremor Totem and Poison Cleansing Totem now pulse every 3 seconds, down from 5.

Warlock

Warrior
-Endless Rage now properly generates 25% more rage from damage dealt (previously only 12% cause of a bug)
-Improved Hamstring: Now has a 10 second cooldown.
Items
-Mystical Skyfire Diamond now reduces the next spell cast by 20%, down from 50%. (It also might just be changed to straight stats, still in debate. Don’t be surprised if this metagem just gets added stats with the current effect in the initial 2.4 notes, it’s still being worked on.)
-Shaman Gladiator 4-set bonus now reduces pushback by 30%, down from 70%.
These notes doesn’t look too convincing, but so far I like the new Mage changes. Spell pushback was a huge concern for Frost Mages, and this new change will help alot. Imp Blink looks fun, and the reduced spell cost for Blink and Slow will be nice.
Again… this has not been officially confirmed yet so the nerf hammer hasn’t been dropped.
