Highlights include DK, Priest and Warlock fixes, the already announced 34 trait limit for instanced PvP and a few more PvP changes.

While we're at it, why don't they just make AP items something that you use directly on artifacts, rather than something that is used and applied to equipped artifact?

Right-click AP item --> glowy hand --> click on the artifact you want to give AP to

Would stop the annoyance of questing as your dps spec and accidentally putting AP in there without thinking when you want to progress your healing or tank spec. The muscle memory of always just using your AP items without really thinking about it when playing a pure dps class is hard to get rid of once you hop to your tank or healer.

That would actually be way more annoying as you'd have to open your character sheet every single time you use an AP item (and that's A LOT). And even if it auto opened it it'd still be a lot more work overall compared to just having to remember what spec you are when using them. Although I have done the same thing as you mention and wasted a few items on offspec :D

You would only really need to open it once, unless you are constantly picking up a bunch of AP items over a short period of time like while levelling I suppose.

Either that, or they could just make AP shared between all specs on a character. Get a 100k AP item, and you don't even have to think about it because all your specs would benefit from it. Would make playing more than one spec less punishing :p or re-speccing in general (would be a very good incentive for anyone to play more than one spec, really.)

Well sure but just imagine the sheer amount of added clicking! It'd be the Blood of Sargeras vendor all over again!

This is not usually 34 points? x)

Great news tbh, I wasted so much AP 'cause of such negligences lol.

Or make it the way you could disenchant items in your garrison Enchanter's Study. Make your choice once, then the next AP rewarding items you use in succession all go to that artifact weapon and after a short time period after not using an AP rewarding item it resets again

Another idea could be to make it work with loot spec. You want to level tank/healer artifact a bit? Set loot spec to that, quest as your dps spec, don't need to worry about it. Then you change your loot spec back once you're done.

This could lead to other issues with people forgetting to change their loot spec, that or you end up getting a legendary for an off-spec while you just wanted AP for it (something that already happens if trying to get relics/trinkets from instances and such.)
The latter could be remedied by granting us Legendary tokens that we can, regardless of spec, trade in for our choice of legendary, though ;) rather than having it completely random.

      We've all seen the giant Hallowfall crystal and just how great it looks, but as it turns out, the light emanating from it actually changes in a sort of strange day/night cycle, and we get a really awesome transition into Void light animation! 
      First off we can see a snippet of the change in Blizzard's official short preview of the zone:
      And then there's this extended look at the switch, showcasing just how impressive the animations are, by PreachGaming's Chunkeyninja:
      And here's a slightly better look at the Void to Light transition, courtesy of Kexman:
      The exact timing on the cycle isn't 100% clear, but MrGM noted how it works on the Alpha right now, with a 3 hour cycle, as the Void part remains active for 30 minutes:

      Hopefully we'll also get some lore to go with the transition, as the light into void thing is pretty thematically interesting, as well as being really visually impressive.
