Healing will be far beyond what it is now. DPS will also likely be higher.
Keg Smash will have the same range, but 100000 times more threat to make up for the cd difference.
Statue is still here.
Guard is still in the game, and better than WoD, for PVP. And there's an artifact trait that replaces Guard very well.
It's still here, just an ox now.
The only relevant stat we lose is bonus armor and it gets replaced by versatility, which is arguably the same thing.
Fortifying Brew is finally being made into a real wall. Blackout Strike is going to be pretty important, even if you just spam it. Guard is still around in the Ox orbs.
I'm holding out judgement until the spec is actually in the game.
