Cataclysm Stat Changes and us...Follow

I'm curious how you all feel this will affect us? http://wow.allakhazam.com/story.html?story=21748

I'm very interested in how they say how haste would affect the cooldown of our runes... I wonder if this would compliment unholy presence effect to make it any more viable outside of pvp, and to what degree/limit could haste be applied?


Anyway, discuss?

EDIT: for clarity

What diggory said. While it can be interesting to speculate, it's too early to make reasonable predictions, as too much is changing in ways we don't know of yet. I suspect that haste will eventually become a pretty decent stat for all DPS classes and possibly very important for PvP as well (to the level where it currently is for mages). I also suspect unholy presence will get some kind of haulover or change to make it more wanted for PvP, as I'm pretty sure Blizzard isn't happy with where it is now - Blood gives too much of a damage increase for 8% movement speed to really be worth it.

And since we should assume that they'll completely integrate everything on old gear (it isn't like your level 80 gear will have ArP and everything after that won't), it shouldn't even matter much anyway. Some people will see level 80 DpS rise, some will see it drop. But overall, the change will be minimal.

And, as Dil said, you are probably going to replace that gear by the time you start doing level 85 dungeons or shortly into the new raids, so it makes no difference.
