I literally started to squeal when I saw the new cleave change to warriors.

I hope this means I can hit 4 targets total with glyphed cleave.

ZOMG YAY!

(Non-warriors have NO IDEA how much this will improve our AoE threat, I can see it now...me competing up there with the bigs boy! (IE: DKs/Paladins) )

------------------------------Edit-------------------------

I read 'Holy Shock, Flash of Light, Holy Light' and 'mana cost reduced' and almost jumped with excitement. Then I read it again and found the 'for lower ranks' and I cried inside.

CLEARLY this is blizzard ONCE AGAIN catering to casuals. Us hardcore have no problem with taking an extra 8 seconds to cast a basic camp fire. That's how it's been for years. This game just gets easier and easier, Blizzard may as well just hand out free camp fires all over the major cities at this point!
