Interesting.
--Each tank class (aside from DKs because... DKs are odd) gets a 2P that gives an offensive ability a defensive effect (Pally and Warrior get a Savage Defense like thing and Bears get another long-cooldown) and a 4P that gives them a raid-effect ability (or for Pallies makes theirs better).
--Healers get a 2P that reduces mana costs, 4P are varied and include some 10% "crit" effects and some flat buffs.
--DPS is all over the place. A lot of guys got a doubled effect to some ability (hunter 2P's gonna be interesting to rotations and feral 2P made my jaw drop), others get reduced cooldowns or a flat haste bonus. My brother's been puzzling over the Balance 4P for half an hour and swings between "it's meh" and "it's uber" because Eclipse is complicated.
