Good thread, Sammew. Aside from content, also included in the upcoming patch are several class balance changes and bug fixes. Due to several talent revisions for select classes, druids, paladins, priests, and shaman will have their talent trees reset.

Experience required to gain levels 71 through 80 is being reduced by 20%.

You'll also get the Cataclysm introductory cinematic and new login screen.

Official Forums
All forums are now read only. We'll see you over at the new site! (Source)

Onyxian Whelpling
It was a pet rewarded to any characters that logged on during the 5th year anniversary. While some special pets are account-wide and mailed on new character creation, the Onyxian Whelpling was not one of them. (Source)

Loremaster in Cataclysm
We hope to release more details about Loremaster tomorrow. Stay tuned! (Source)

Death Knight (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Beta Skills/Talents)
Horn of Winter
The behavior you're describing is the result of a bug which will be fixed in the next patch prior to the release of Cataclysm. You will again be able to toot your own horn to gain runic power, you just won't get the Attack Power benefit if a similar buff is already present. (Source)

Fan Art
A new Fan Art has been added to the official site.

    It doesn't make sense either way, we've had flying mounts since BC and now suddenly we learn to fly them in Azeroth? Dunno why the world changing has anything to do with us learning to fly. It's one of the selling points of Cataclysm, like archaeology.

    They need to add portals to Dalaran & Shattrath from the old world. I guess they have the blasted lands portal now in the major cities which kind of covers Shatt but what about Dalaran? I'm horde so do I have to wait and catch a Zeppelin from UC every time I need to go to Northrend? I'm still farming the polar bear & green proto-drake mounts on my 2 main characters so I'll still be making daily visits to Northrend. Since one of my characters is a mage I will have to move her to a separate account just to allow my priest to port to Dal more easily. This is ridiculous.

    Still, why remove them now? I still hang out in Dalaran for ICC, VoA, and the weekly raids. So, now, when Cataclysm drops, I have to fly to Valliance Keep to catch a boat to head back to Stormwind. I find it pointless to remove the portals, even if they are adding class trainers and an AH. You just can't beat fast travel.

    "What is not in:
    * New Zones (80+)"

    That's not true, they are in. But if you haven't bought Cataclysm you get teleported out of them again if you enter. Hop in the water south of Tanaris and swim around to Uldum, you can look into the zone - which looks fantastic btw.

    What time frame? When it was first announced they said he would randomly be going over zones until he is first defeated. And as we probably won't see him until 4.2 or later (speculation, but I don't think they would have us defeat him in the first major content patch), I think you'll have quite a while to get burninated.

    that's....not 100% true.

    If you have the item for the onyxian whelpling, but never USED it, the item itself is BoA, so you can still give it away if you want. It just disappears on use.

    Soooooooooooooooooo Glad I fixed my Steamweedle Cartel Rep! I still have Ratchet, and Gadget to fix a wee bit, but Booty Bay is all good. I HIGHLY recommend and Bloossail Admiral to do this NOW.

    The guards hit SO hard (increased level) and with no Flying, the boats are attractive.
