Here comes a huge batch of hotfixes, as the big class tuning pass arrives with the new patch! The many PvE and PvP changes are joined by the Tome of Unstable Power nerf, as well as plenty of Cataclysm Classic changes.
May 7 (Source)
Classes
Demon Hunter Vengeance Sigil of Silence duration reduced to 4 seconds (was 5 seconds). Sigil of Silence cooldown increased to 90 seconds (was 60 seconds). Cycle of Binding now reduces Sigil cooldowns by 2 seconds per trigger (was 3 seconds). Soul Cleave damage reduced by 8%. Druid Balance Season 4 (2) Set Bonus now increases the damage of your next Wrath or Starfire by 50% (was 30%). Season 4 (2) Set Bonus new reduces the Astral Power cost of your next Starsurge or Starfall by 30 (was 15) and increases the damage it does by 60% (was 40%). Monk Brewmaster Keg Smash damage reduced by 10%. Spinning Crane Kick damage reduced by 10%. Summon White Tiger Statue damage reduced by 30%. The effectiveness of Stagger against magical attacks increased to 55% (was 45%). Healing Sphere healing increased by 10%. Rogue Assassination Ability and auto-attack damage increased by 6%. Does not affect PvP combat. Fixed an issue that caused the Assassination Rogue Season 3/Season 4 bonus to do slightly less damage than intended. Warlock Affliction Doom Blossom damage increased by 10%. Vile Taint damage increased by 25%. Soul Flame damage increased by 20%. Soul Rot damage increased by 5%. Destruction Chaos Bolt damage increased by 3%. Conflagrate damage increased by 5%. Incinerate damage increased by 5%. Warrior Fury All ability damage increased by 3%. Season 4 Set Bonus (2): Rampage damage and critical strike chance increased by 15% (was 12%). Season 4 Set Bonus (4): Bloodthirst bonus damage increased to 35% per stack (was 30%). Protection Developers’ notes: Our goal for these changes is to reduce Protection Warrior deaths to the dangers that are most likely to kill them, like burst or magic damage. There are some talents that warriors have for protection against these threats, like Disrupting Shout, Bolster, or Battle-Scarred Veteran, but it can be difficult to find the talent points for them. To provide more build flexibility we are reducing the power of the Battering Ram talent and moving its damage and defensive benefits into core abilities. We’re also increasing damage across the board and buffing some defensive talent options. All ability damage increased by 5%. Devastator damage increased by 30%. Ignore Pain healing increased by 6%. Disrupting Shout’s cooldown reduced to 75 seconds (was 90 seconds). Enduring Alacrity increases Stamina and Armor by 10% (was 5%) and Haste by 2% (was 1%). Battering Ram now increases your auto-attack damage and speed by 10% for 20 seconds (was 20%). Items

Legendary appearances may now be added to your Transmogrification collection. In anticipation of community response to this change, we have also added a pitchfork. Fixed an issue that would cause the Monstrous Clams in the quest “Clammy Hands” to be non-interactive. Fixed an issue that prevented Naralex and his discipline from correctly spawning in the Southern Barrens. Druid Thrash now benefits from and consumes the Clearcasting effect from Omen of Clarity. Fixed an issue where Blessing of Kings and Mark of the Wild were incorrectly stacking their stat increases. Fixed an issue where level 80 boosted characters were not properly learning their class and spec’s Mastery abilities. Prayer of Mending now scales by the intended amount from spell power. Conflagrate will no longer consume lower-rank Immolates belonging to other Warlocks. Player versus Player Fixed a bug causing Resilience to do much less mitigation than intended. Fixed an issue where crowd control effects were breaking at a lower damage threshold than intended. -

Blizzard have announced they're working on a fix for the Group Finder not working properly and should have a fix ready tonight or early tomorrow, but also outlined a temporary workaround that should fix the issues right now.
Here's what one of the issues looks like:

It's another wild patch launch, with some very interesting and... specific bugs. Players have been reporting some of their equipped items items just randomly turning into level 1 statless ones, for seemingly no reason at all.
A few players first reported the issue a short while after patch launch, and we got a direct look at the rather big downgrade a little after that, as shared this screenshot:
While not all affected players are sharing the exact details, some of them specify that this is happening on alts, and relatively low item level Dragonflight gear, so the issue may be limited to those items alone. It's also unclear whether this is just a display bug or an actual nerf to the stats, but apparently it's also affecting quest rewards!

There are also a few reports over on the official forums, but there aren't that many for now, so hopefully it's only affecting a few players. This seems like one of those issues that will be resolved pretty quickly, so there probably isn't too much reason for concern.
Perhaps this is all part of Xal'atath's schemes?

The 'Door to the Ren'dorei' quest on live servers is experiencing a bug where Alleria won't open a portal. Try abandoning the quest and reattempting for a fix. Additionally, there are tagging issues with 'The Path Taken' quest.
The Door to the Ren'dorei quest where Alleria opens a portal in the Chamber of Dalaran is currently bugged and Alleria doesn't do anything. If you see a lot of players stuck in the area, simply, abandon the quest, return to Alleria and pick it up again. Then, the portal should be visible and work.
We're also seeing a return to the classic Vanilla-style mechanics in the "The Path Taken" quest. For this one, you’ll need to either patiently wait your turn or quickly use all your abilities to tag the mobs. Only the player who tags the mobs first will receive credit, and you need to secure tags on three different groups of mobs. Therefore, try joining a group before attempting this portion of the quest.
