Patch 5.2: March 12th Class Hotfixes and Ghostcrawler's Explanation
Blizzard just posted some more class hotfixes today, and Ghostcrawler elaborated on them--hopefully that will take the sting out of seeing some abilities nerfed. This quickly follows yesterday's round of announced hotfixes, in which there was an
extended explanation
as to why Oondasta could no longer be killed cross-realm for loot.
Throne of Thunder LFR also opens today in the US, and we've
got previews of all the new bosses and potential goodies in your loot satchels

Patch 5.2 Hotfixes: March 7th
Today's round of hotfixes most importantly includes a nerf to experience for winning pet battles. Heirloom and experience buffs were stacking extremely well when completing these battles.
In addition, Season 13 one-handed weapons, excluding the Spellblade and Gavel had their cost reduced from 2250 to 1750 Honor or Conquest points respectively. Big Zokk Torquewrench, who sold replica vanilla PvP epic weapons, also appears to be temporarily removed from the game.

Patch 5.2: Isle of Thunder Content Guide
The
Île du Tonnerre
is a new zone in 5.2 that is the location of a server-wide War Effort, new factions, and daily quests. However, there's a lot of vanity-related content as well, for players that dislike dailies.
This guide aims to cover the basics of completing your new dailies, but also to highlight all the other things you can do on the island. Since you access more content as you progress through the War Effort, we've also pointed out what things you can do now, and what things you'll have to wait a few weeks on.
Unlike factions tied to MoP's launch, the factions on the
Île du Tonnerre
are not tied to getting raid-quality gear or unlocking dailies for other factions. While you can complete twelve dailies a day, it's possible to have fun on
Île du Tonnerre
without doing any dailies and simply enjoying the other content, such as killing rare spawns, getting
<Name> Stormbreaker
for completing achievements, and farming troll transmog gear.

5.2 Guide: New Rare Spawns and Elites
In the early Patch 5.2 beta, we covered new rare elites around Pandaria that dropped dinosaur mounts like

Marmiton

A new race is added in 5.2--the Mantid. There are eight common solves and two rare solves (

Générateur d'impulsions soniques

Mantid digsites can pop up normally on the map, or
