From the front page of mmochampion today , I read THIS
Hooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyy crap.... uhhh...... yeah can you say "Entire mage lvling experience RUINED?!"Blizzard is now trained at level 52. Up from 18.
I have an 80 mage , Blizzard spam was my life lvling up , w/o it it would be hell to lvl a mage because flamestrike blows and arcane explosion is so harsh on mana , you can't really afford to use it on any frequent basis till you're geared at 80
Edit : Yeah sure... the disclaimer of "Nothing in beta is final and is subject to change" but if it doesn't holy crap...
