Cataclysm Raid Progression Update
A couple of guilds are leading the world progression, almost all the normal modes are down now and only Nefarian is left for 4 of those guilds. Apparently there wasn't any shortage of level 85 players and most of these kills seems to be in 25-man mode (according to
Paragon's website at least, not sure about the other guilds).
The progression is faster than what I expected from people who barely had time to run heroic instances, and it will be interesting to see how things go when people start working on heroic versions of the encounters next week.

World of Warcraft Cataclysm Performance
Tom's Hardware posted a very useful performance guide for Cataclysm. The
entire article is a must-read if you plan to upgrade your computer anytime soon, keep in mind that this article is only about performance in WoW Cataclysm and
things can be very different in other games (mostly thinking about multi GPU cards here).
There's also a few comparisons of DirectX9 vs DirectX11 performance, if you have an high-end GPU card it looks like you will definitely want to activate the DX11 Support to get even more FPS! To do that, simply edit the config.wtf file in your /WTF/ folder and add SET gxApi "d3d11" to it.

To be the lower currency, that's always its role.
Right now it's giving you heroic blues, valor is giving raid epics, when the next tier hits JP will buy those old raid epics (as well as the heroic blues), and valor will buy the new hotness.
It's exactly the same as Frost/Triumph except instead of introducing a new currency each time and making it a confusing mess it's the same two currencies (Valor and Justice Points) and they simply rotate down once there's something new.
[...] At the release of a new tier all Valor points are converted to JP. It's in effect the same, as I said, as Frost/Triumph. Valor becomes, essentially, a new currency with each tier. JP continually collects the old items and points as it moves along. (

Uldum Quests Hotfix
We're currently working to address this issue with a hotfix and ensure that players who accidentally leave Obelisk of the Stars before accepting Field Work can still continue the quest chain. (

Transmute: Living Elements in Deepholm
We're aware that performing
Transmute: Living Elements while in Deepholm does not currently yield any
Volatile Earth and are working to apply a hotfix as we speak.
Please note that once this hotfix is applied, you will no longer receive both
Volatile Air and
Volatile Earth when using the transmute in Uldum. Instead, you will only receive
Volatile Air (excluding bonus procs). This was an unintended side-effect and will be addressed shortly. Thanks!
