Touche, you are right. I swear I recall a random ass plane somewhere...

There IS a plane in Dun Morogh that crashed, just somewhere else than there.

There's a lot of cool stuff in those mountains, like Otto's Grotto or something.

When you enter it, you get in Silithus General Chat O.o

No, there actually is a plane there. It's not a big plane, it's just one of those small gnomish planes. There is also a gryphon master there that serves no purpose.

Mages used to have a spell called detect magic, and it was the only way to see beneficial buffs on any agressive mob/player. It also was able to be cast on flagged players without flagging yourself.

In the disc tree, priests had a talent that increased damage with wands.

I have some things concerning warriors:

Arms tree:
Poleaxe specialization used to be two separate specializations: Axe Spec, and Polearm spec.
Improved Hamstring used to increase the movement reduction effect by 10/20% per talent point spent.
Obviously, Hamstring only reduced movement speed, untalented, by 30%.
Mortal Strike did 200% weapon damage.

Fury:
Flurry used to be 30%.
Deathwish and Enrage used to stack. In vanilla, Enrage was a 40% damage increase.

Prot:
Iron will was originally in the prot tree. Imp. Thunderclap was originally in the Arms tree.
Improved Disciplines used to be in the Arms tree. (Thats fairly recent though).

Couple other notes:
Warrior charge/intercept would be effected by movement reducing effects. That is to say, that if you were snared when you charged, you would charge at a slower speed, and usually end up WAY WAY WAY far off from your target. If someone could find a video of this, its pretty hilarious. We're talking WAY off.
Preparation (Rogue talent) used to reset the CD on blind as well.
Blind used to cost a reagent to use.

Don't know if these were posted:
You could only fly from directly connected flight paths. In order to go across a continent, you literally had to land at each flight path and select the next one.
There used to be Wildhammer rep in Aerie Peak, gained from killing the local trolls. I personally got my first mains rep to revered before they removed it.

Thanks for the read. Very enlightening.

I do believe mages did too in the Arcane tree.

I know Azjol-Nerub was supposed to be an entire zone but it was scrapped for some reason and Blizzard made it an instance.

Aye, there's a plane there =P

I forgot about the TC doing nature damage. Thats a joke me and my warrior buds still use to this day when we jokingly roll on SP gear to do "MORE TC DAMAGE"

[Rakavys]

Warriors were originally built around using spirit as their main tanking stat in the beta.
