WoW Source

Diminishing Returns categories have been reduced from thirteen to five.

Fear has been reduced from eight seconds to five.

CC is still important for gameplay, and will not be removed.

They want to address the problem of PvP gear in the world -- in WoD it will be clearer how your gear is in PvP as every piece will have two item levels, such as 550 for PvE but as soon as you engage in PvP it goes to 590.

We saw an early map and description of Ashran, it looks like a tug-of-war style map with peripheral objectives. See the map image below.

There will be dedicated max level zones on Alpha for raids and PvP where characters will be boosted to 100 just for testing that content.

There was more Skirmish information - solo queues, bags as rewards, with loot or honor, small chance to reward conquest gear.

Tanking is more about mitigation and the like than about threat, and that will stay the same in Warlords.

Proving Grounds will be improved to help teach players their roles.

Button Bloat removal was focused on redundant buttons, or spells that did the same thing as each other with a minor difference, such as Drain Soul and Drain Life, or Mangle and Shred.

Visual Clutter is being toned down, your party members will see your abilities less. PvP will not tone down clutter as it's important to see everything.

The devs consider it really important to keep the game unified, despite how it adds constraints to game design.

The more feedback the devs get, the better the game will become!
