So I'm one of many many people who currently can't get on the EU realms. One of the blue responses (beisdes a couple "Don't know yet" in the fast growing thread about this issue was that patch 4.2a is currently being applied...
Have they completely lost their mind? Why the hell would they put a damn patch on during prime game time, literally hours before things are being shut down for maintenance?
As much as I am looking forward to an actually working TAB-Targeting, this is truly annoying...

So what's this tab-targeting change?
I've heard tell about it, but never really understood how they were changing it.

They're fixing it so it no longer targets dead mobs. Also hopefully fixing it so it doesn't target mobs behind you or 50yds away.
It's especially noticeable as a tank or melee DPS. Tab-cycling through targets caused you to occasionally target mobs already dead. Also, after you kill mob A, the game will auto-switch you to target B when you hit your next melee ability. Right now, there is a bug that will randomly switch you back from B to A, even though A is dead.
The change will hopefully be that it's once again actually functioning... Half the time it's not working at all and you're stuck targeting a corpse rather than beating on something new. Now biggie if you get away with /assist but a major PITA if you're actually tanking.

The random target is happening a lot even with casters. It happened to me several times inside Firelands raid.
Targeted a mob, started casting and when I start casting the second spell, the target randomly changes. It's annoying, definatelly not gamebreaking, though.
Have they said there's still going to be maintenance tomorrow? Because there's not always maintenance on Tuesdays. I don't think there was last week for example.

"Oh, hey guys, no idea how I aggro'd that trash from 40 yards away..."
I would think it would be even worse as ranged dps, since you have a much larger range for potential wrong targets.
