Straight off of MMO-Champion.
Starfall CD dropped - YES! Finally a sort've psuedo buff to the spell.
Eclipse - Yes! Now when I accidently get my wrath eclipse I can crit it for 10k while raiding.
Owlkin Frenzy - Glad they finally fixed this. It now adds back to its utility in certain pve situations.
Celestial Focus - I'm mixed about this, I liked the stun proc for pvp, but also it reduces pushback so its kind of a catch22 change for pvp. It'll be nice against melee classes in bgs/arenas, but against casters it kind of sucks... Unless they're arcane mages, then hi ho!
Nature's Grace - I'm curious as to how this will go. I've soft capped haste so I'm sure it will push wrath to the 1 second mark but I want to see how it goes with starfire. I kind of enjoyed 1.8 second SF casts.
Faerie Fire - This is quite possibly the greatest change for a boomkin you'll ever see. Now I'm basically gaurenteed 7% hit with 2 talents and the 3% crit will be amazing now, and my rotation is going to be smoothed as well.
Tree of Life - This doesn't really seem all that important to me, I don't understand the change but it costs less mana now.
Edit: Completely misread the owlkin frenzy change, so I changed how I felt!
