... I don't like the sound of this. Were they so overpowered or do they
just
want to make bear tanking even harder?

As I've heard it, druid tanks were doing MUCH more damage than other tanks,
the only exception being warrior tanks, in aoe packs where they could Cleave
spam(also nerfed).

I don't so much mind them nerfing my *damage* but I'm afraid that with less
damage I will also build less *threat*, something which I find I wasn't too
blessed with on my two post patch 4.0 tanking runs (@ level 65).

o Affliction
+ Unstable Affliction's silence effect has been reduced to 3
seconds,
down from 5.

Since when did UA have a silence effect? Didn't even realise.

Since it was implemented. UA is a damage over time with dispel protection-it
damages and silences the dispeller if someone dispels it.

Yupp, others pointed that out to me, I had not remembered, as these dispel
protection methods seem mostly PvP relevant.

If I read this correctly, I can now do the dailies on several characters
and they all send their marks to my main who can then get the stuff he
needs much sooner? Or am I missing something?

It's the FACTION marks that are boa, not the Tol Barad commendations that
you buy them(or other items) with.

Hm, I hadn't even realised Faction marks existed. If I understand correctly
there is a vendor who sells marks that give rep with say Ramkahen that I can
buy with Tol Barad commendations to increase Ramkahen rep and in the future
I will be able to send those Ramkahen marks to my other charcaters?

That could still be handy. I need to go back and double check the vendors in
Tol Barad Peninsula. Need to add those marks to Factionizer, too :)

Cheers
