• The Lady Deathwhisper encounter has seen the following changes in the 25 player normal version: mana pool has been reduced, the health on all adds has been reduced, and Adherents will wait a little longer after spawning before they start casting.
• Interrupting a fireball being cast by the Ymirjar Flamebearers in normal and heroic Pit of Saron will no longer make them instantly cast Hellfire.
• The ghost waves at the beginning of both normal and heroic Halls of Reflection have undergone several changes that should make them easier to defeat such as preventing 2 mages or 2 mercenaries from spawning in the 5 mob pulls, a shorter duration of the spectral footman's shield bash, and the spectral mage's flamestrike having a longer cast time, shorter duration, and (in heroic) doing less damage.
• The Oculus loot improvements posted here have been made: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=22418861894&pageNo=1&sid=1#0
• The proc for the item, The Last Word, has been greatly increased to allow for continuous uptime.
• The NPC Margrave Dhakar in Icecrown will properly respawn if killed while doing the quest, The Flesh Giant Champion.
• Wyvern Sting no longer triggers the extra shot effect from Zod's Repeating Longbow.
• The Oculus had some additional changes made. The Planar Anomlies during the Eregos encounter will have a shorter duration and do reduced damage, some of the drakes above Varos's platform have been removed, and the drakes controlled by players will move a little faster.
• Players can now send a whisper to a player from another realm that is in their party.
• The Invigoration buff from melee attacks using the Heartpierce dagger will now grant twice as much resources as before. It now grants 2 rage, 4 energy, or 120 mana every 2 seconds for 10 seconds.
• The proc for the item, The Last Word, has been greatly increased to allow for more continuous uptime.

wow chance at a drake now from Oculus, but HAS to be random... I can't tell you how many times I've lost a party member from Oculus... Hopefully this cuts it down like they intended.
