Today's Cataclysm hotfixes bring Bloodlust and Heroism fixes, no more double trap drop animations for Hunters, a big fix for healing over time, as well as several holiday improvements.
May 3 (Source)
Cataclysm Classic
Fixed a bug causing Hunters to do trap dropping animations twice. Account wide pet collection achievements now correctly grant rewards. Fixed an issue preventing Bloodlust and Heroism from working as intended. Mounting the Violet Proto Drake now grants Master Riding to players who are at least level 80 and have Artisan Riding trained. Heal-over-time and damage-over-time ticks should now behave as intended in Cataclysm when refreshed. Developers’ notes: Previously, refreshing a DoT just before it finished its last tick could cause it to miss out on a tick. That was the correct behavior in Wrath of the Lich King, but not Cataclysm. Holidays The Children’s Week holiday is now extended for one additional week. “Ridin' The Rocketway” can now be completed. Craggle Wobbletop and Blax Bottlerocket now sell Yellow and Green Balloons for Children's Week. Darkmoon Faire will be closed until the launch of Cataclysm, when it will return with the newly updated Darkmoon Faire Island. -

The Objective Tracker does not display all tracked objectives. Tab labels have layout issues. The Nameplate Unit Frame displays with errors and shows the raid marker placement overlay on the unit. The Player vs. Player tab goes behind other tabs instead of to the side, and cannot be closed by pressing Escape. While inspecting another player’s gear, their gear icons do not display within the UI. Text to Speech: ‘Speak for me in Voice chat’ is not currently functional.

Worgen: Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Death Knight, Mage, Warlock, Druid Goblins: Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Death Knight, Shaman, Mage, Warlock New Race and Class Combinations

Dwarf: Mage, Shaman, Warlock Gnome: Priest Human: Hunter Night Elf: Mage Blood Elf: Warrior Orc: Mage Tauren: Paladin, Priest Troll: Druid, Warlock Undead: Hunter Class Updates: New Talents, Trees, and Spells
For all classes, talent trees have been changed, and many class talents, spells, and abilities have been overhauled, added, or removed. The character levels at which classes gain new spells and abilities have changed, and spells and abilities no longer have multiple ranks. They now scale with character level. Notably:
Ammo has been removed. Hunters now use Focus instead of Mana. Pet Happiness is removed. In original Cataclysm, it was removed in 4.1.0. The Pet Bar is available to Hunters and Warlocks automatically, and they do not need to reach Level 10 and purchase Control Pet/Control Demon, as they did in original Warlock Soul Shards are no longer an item. Soul Shards are now a resource mechanic. Paladins have a new second resource, Holy Power. Death Knight runes now regenerate one rune per type at a time. Balance Druids have a new Eclipse power bar. Many item and class stats have been changed or removed. Mastery Rating has been added as a new stat which provides unique benefits for characters based on class and talent specialization. Mastery is trainable at your class trainer and is available at Level 80. Armor Penetration rating has been removed, and existing Armor Penetration Rating has been converted to Critical Strike Rating. Armor Specializations are now available at Level 50. These provide a bonus to a character’s primary stat for wearing the preferred armor for its class. Reforging
This itemization customization feature allows you to partially change the stats on an item. Visit Reforging NPCs in capital cities to get started.

Account-Wide Achievements
With this new quality-of-life feature, account-wide achievements are displayed in blue and are earned only once per account. All other achievements will be earned at a character level but will be displayed for all characters on a given account.
Total achievement points are now the total for the WoW account and not the character’s total. To ensure you activate the full collection of account-wide achievements, we recommend you log into each character on your account at least once. Guild System Updates
Guilds now offer perks to guild members. This system differs from the Guild system found in original Cataclysm.
Players gain reputation with their guild to get access to items such as gear and pets. Guilds do not gain levels. Guild achievements can be earned. Guild perks will be split into 2 categories: guild perks and default player traits. Guild perkswill require players to join a guild, but do not have a guild level requirement.Default player traits will be automatically given to all players and will appear in the General section of your spellbook as passive spells.
