I think priests had racial-related spells, for example devouring plague was unique to forsaken priests.

Huh. Coulda sworn that Cannibilize also restored mana back in the days, guess I was mistaken.

Unfortnuately no, in vanilla, Cannibilize did not restore mana. This was added later in a few expansions, I can't remember which one. I am thinking Wrath. This annoyed me because I never needed to use Cannibilize anymore because Blizz made mana regen out of combat much faster.

Yes, and fear ward for dwarves, which I think was considered the best back then.

Far and away the best.    Fear Ward and the Paladin Blessings are what made Alliance so much better than Horde in vanilla for endgame raiding.    Fear Ward alone was a huge boost in many of the hardest fights (Onyxia, Magmar, etc) if you could put it on your tank and tank healer so the bosses stayed in place and control.    Blessing of Salvation was -huge- for dps, as threat was a much bigger part of the game than people remember.

      Players have been noticing that Righteous Orbs were suddenly no longer dropping, and now Blizzard have confirmed that there was a hotfix, and that they were never intended to drop before Phase 4.
      Righteous Orbs (Source)
      With a hotfix that went live to all realms earlier today, Righteous Orbs no longer drop during Phase 3 of Season of Discovery.
      They’ll become available as intended in Phase 4.
    • By Staff
      Blizzard will be adding a one-time fix for Season of Discovery players who used Bloodstained Commendations to increase their PvP rank, but forgot about the 15 kill minimum by adding said 15 Honorable Kills at this week's reset. 
      Bloodstained Commendations (Source)
      We identified a significant number of players who appear to have been trying for Rank, and used a lot of Bloodstained Commendations before the deadline, but did not obtain the requisite HKs that week. We’ve developed a one-time-only fixup for you.
      On Tuesday, April 16, during scheduled maintenance – before the weekly calculations are started for the week of April 9-16 – we’re going to attempt to change the record for those player-characters who fit the above description for the week of April 2-9. The fixup will essentially change your history to make it look as though you got the requisite 15 HKs during the previous week.

      We have a class tuning pass coming to SoD Phase 3 with next week's reset. Druids and Warlocks get the most changes, and 6 classes in total are affected.
      Class Tuning (Source)
      Throughout the beginning of phase 3, we’ve closely monitored in-game progress, feedback from the community, and bug reports.
      With scheduled weekly maintenance next week, we’ll make the following class adjustments.
      Druid
      Starsurge no longer consumes Clearcasting procs from Omen of Clarity. Skull Bash rune moved to the Hands slot (was the Leg slot). Lacerate rune moved to the Leg slot (was Hands). Lacerate threat increased substantially. Paladin
      Light’s Grace rune moved to the Bracer slot (was Helm). Rogue
      Focused attacks now generates 3 additional energy (up from 2) Shaman
      The Internal Cooldown for Overcharged has been increased to 3 seconds Warlock
      Life tap now grants mana return to warlock pets as well Unstable Affliction’s damage has been increased by roughly 120% Warlocks with Metamorphosis active and the Master Demonologist talent will now gain increased threat generation when they summon an Imp or Felguard (was decreased threat generation). Warrior
      Victory Rush heal increased to 30% of the Warrior’s health (was 10%).

      We have another combo hotfix platter with retail and Season of Discovery, with 10.2.6 getting two Druid fixes, while SoD Phase 3 gets a lot of class changes, Darkmoon card tuning, and a raid fix.
      April 11 (Source)
      Classes
      Druid Balance Fixed a bug that could prevent a Druid with Radiant Moonlight who died and resurrected from getting more than one cast of Full Moon before it resets to New Moon. Primordial Arcanic Pulsar progress now resets on raid encounter start. Feral Damage dealt from  Berserk: Frenzy and  Burning Frenzy (Seasons 3 and 4 set armor 4-piece bonus) will now log correctly when buffed by an Augmentation Evoker. Season of Discovery
      Darkmoon Card: Overgrowth proc chance increased to 10% (was 5%). Darkmoon Card: Decay now procs from ranged attacks and abilities. Anguish of the Dream’s bonus damage on next ability will no longer be consumed by professions. “Jungle Durian” now rewards 20 Jungle Durians (was 10). Rogue Cheap Shot’s stun effect can now correctly apply to targets under the effects of Goblin Rocket Helmet’s Reckless Charge. Combat Potency and Deadly Brew can no longer proc from Fiery Weapon procs. Shaman Rolling Thunder now correctly restores 2% of the Shaman’s total mana per Lightning Shield charge released. Shamans should now appropriately have access to Rank 4 of Fire Nova (was Fire Nova Totem) when the rune is engraved. Warlock Unstable Affliction is now affected by Haunt’s increase. Damage over time effects that crit through the Pandemic rune will now be able to activate Dance of the Wicked. Felguards summoned by Warlocks are now given an appropriate demon name. Warrior Gladiator Stance will now appear at the end of your stance bar instead of the beginning and will no longer rearrange the order of your stances for the purpose of stance macros. Sunken Temple Fixed an issue that would occasionally cause Dreamscythe and Weaver to evade when their target survived falling into the Pit of Sacrifice.

      One of the most famous deaths in Classic Hardcore made it over into Season of Discovery Phase 3! The developers added a corpse in the new Sunken Temple raid, close to where Guzu's orc fell and thus made the legendary hole-in-one death even more so.
      Originally spotted by Eric264, here's Guzu himself finding his gear-accurate body (although the Alexstrasza mousepad is nowhere to be found), a little bit off to the side of where he actually fell.

      In case you weren't familiar with the death itself, it has not one, but two Jormungars  hilarious animations based on it, including one by the legendary Hurricane, which you can check out here. As for the death itself, here it is:


      That's a really elaborate way to get an NPC based on you in the game, and I love it!
