cataclysm class changes

Below is a short preview of the changes blizzard are planning for the classes in Cataclysm:

Hunter

•    Hunter's mana is GONE!!!
•    Hunters now use focus, no longer care about intellect or mana regen.
•    Focus regenerates contunously, Steady shot improves the rate of getting focus bag.
•    Rogue energy comes back at a 10 / sec rate, Hunter focus comes back at 6/sec (12/sec with steady shot)
•    A shot costs 30 to 60 focus.
•    Hunters will have fewer cooldowns on abilities
•    Ammos will become an item, not a consumable.

 Warlock

•    Soul Shards are no longer in your bags. The goal is to make them fun, not a hassle.
•    Soul Shards will be integrated to the user interface. (Just like Death Knight runes)
•    You get three shards per fight, they will regen very quickly out of combat.
•    It will be possible to get more for long fights or mistakes through Drain Soul.
•    Soul Burn (New Spell) : Cost 1 Shard, 30 sec cooldown, off the GCD. Empowers your next spell, many (not all spells) behave differently when empowered.
•    Empowered Searing Pain : Next 3 Searing Pains crit
•    Empowered Summon Demon : Instant Cast
•    Empowered Soulfire : Instant Cast
•    Empowered Fear : Instant Cast
•    Empowered Death Coil : Longer Horror, more healing received.
•    They are only used in combat, summons or demons won't use your shards.

Priest

•    Shadow Priests will most likely get a nuke without cooldown in Cataclysm.

 Shaman

•    Shamans (Elemental) looks like "turrets" in PvP for the moment, the idea is to make totems funnier in the future ("put a totem down and something cool happens") but not a lot of details for the moment.

 Warrior

•    Warriors won't be as affected as other classes by the itemization changes, the goal is to make other classes gears look a lot like what warriors have.
