A mix of buffs, nerfs and things we all ready knew about.
The Tigers Fury thing must be for level 80 balancing, I am not in beta so I have no idea about that one. Still leaves me unsure as we have know scaling issues, largely due to feral AP and the resultant lack of weapon damage scaling.
The Growl CD reduction is cool, I like it a lot.
Earth and Moon was know for a bit as mmo-champion has very accurate talent calculators.
The Eclipse one I missed, even looking at the tree. They are really pushing it on us. I think they may buff it till it actually becomes good enough to make up for having to proc watch like a proc hawk.
Moonfury is good as gives balance folks more points to play with, possibly for Eclipse? I really think they are going to push it on us and they have been buffing it consistently.
The AoE infinite mana exploit was fixed with this patch. No more AoEing up to a full mana bar. :(
The PI change is old news. More of a we fixed the tool tip thing than a change.
Tree of life has more armor now. Must be a PvP thing as the tree was not to common in PvP before as it screamed kill me now please. The armor will help survival and reduce the need to spec feral for, well anything really.
Any thoughts, opinions or corrections?

Yeah free repsec.
Berserk change is sweet and needed. Same deal with the Bash and Survival Instincts changes.
The rest were mostly summed up in the pre-(non-spelling) edit.
