Classes get "some new class specific abilities" - This is the same thing we get every expansion. This isn't impressive or exciting. Giving frost mages "frost blast" still makes them frost mages that play the exact same way. This isn't refreshing and it certainly isn't going to change how your class feels or plays.
Right now I have a strong sense of dread and disappointment floating above me. What in this expansion is supposed to pull me in? What is breaking the mold? What is supposed to make me truly excited to play - because playing the same ol specs with a few new abilities is not going to cut it.
