Don't get me wrong, they will be a lot better than right now, but we still have less CC, less throughput, less mana regen and fewer real CDs than Druids/Pallies/Shaman.
For the few small buffs we are getting, we are even losing things like the PvP 2set - which is 30% damage reduction every time you shield someone - this is a HUGE loss, and only adds to our mana efficieny issues by making us use Flash Heal more.
Anyway, as for excitement, I'm glad I can actually play Disc next season. There will be a few 3s setups that we aren't God awful in - KFC, Hunter/Monk, Rogue/Monk, RMP (as always), Ele/Mage (seems to be working).
And for you my Ret friend, Ret/Rogue/Priest will be at least playable, so I suggest you make friends with a Rogue some point before the patch!
