Really, a LOT of stuff got said that didn't make it into either Blizzard's re-caps or the re-caps we have here, which were being written by one of the staff as they were watching the panel live. In the buff totems discussion, I went back into the stream and re-watched the opening preview panel a few times just to get exactly what Ghostcrawler said with regards to that, because most re-caps just say "buff totems - GONE" without the rest of what he said. Which very definitively included him saying we'd retain all our buffs, but they'd be converted to auras or cast like Arcane Intellect or something.
Which all makes me really glad I've got a virtual ticket, and have access to their recorded streams for the next few weeks, just so I can pull that stuff up when it gets questioned.
