Damnit, troll druids will be awesome.

Fuck, now i'm torn between a goblin shammy and a troll druid..

Crap. I used to be so sure of the goblin shammy.

It's more that it looks very slapdash and quickly pumped-out. The final result might be very similar but look a little more polished, but I really do think it's a case of beta model for the moment.

...that said, the current Aquatic form was a nelf-only beta model from vanilla that we're all still stuck with now. Ditto for travel form (as I understand it, Travel Form was meant to be something like a stag, but they just used a random cheetah instead).

Also, point of interest... there might be a new weapon type, "Spear". It's mentioned on a few enchants as a weapon type (in the criteria for what kinds of weapon the enchant can be applied to, that is). There was a Spear at some point in Wrath beta as well...

The enchants specifically named both Polearms and Spears; I was thinking along the same lines and checked and found that.

Seems strange that polearms and spears could be distinguished in such a way - I would consider a spear as a type of polearm myself...

I'm rather interested in seeing how they plan to refactor mage and DK trees - while they're obviously unfinished, some of the ideas they presented are quite interesting and they should add some depth to the play style. :)

Some of the guild perks that caught my eye:

Cash Flow (Rank 2): Each time you loot money from an enemy, an extra 10% money is generated and deposited directly into your guild bank.

Guild Mail: In-game mail sent between guild members now arrives instantly.

Mobile Banking: Summons your guild bank. 1 hour cooldown.

Bountiful Bags: Increases the quantity of materials gained from Mining, Skinning, Herbalism, and Disenchanting by 15%.

Have Group, Will Travel: Summons all raid or party members to the caster's current location. 2 hour cooldown.

Mass Resurrection: Brings all dead party and raid members back to life with 35 health and 35 mana. Cannot be cast when in combat. No cooldown.

Thats only a couple of the perks, but already some pretty tasty stuff there ^^

There is a difference, Spears are swung like a staff with a metal pointy end at the tip, or stabbed, or thrown.

Polearms are just like a sword on the end of a stick, alot of the time.

Sylvanas and Garrosh and Magni and Malfurion and Tirion in Hearthglen and Cairne and and and

JAROD SHADOWSONG!

...no, you won't know who that is without reading the War of the Ancients trilogy, but I thought he and Broxigar were the best characters in those three books and I always wondered what happened to Jarod (he's been assumed dead and gone by the fanbase).

Spears vs Polearms

In a fair few games spears can be used as 1h weapons, allowing you to also carry a shield or other offhand item... or even dual wield spears...
