Update - Changed the % of confirmed info from 90% to 99.9%. Let's hope that Paris won't be too cold tomorrow.
Blizzcon Tomorrow!
The Blizzcon starts tomorrow, the Cataclysm expansion will be announced during the opening ceremony and I already have a nice preview up :
Again, this isn't confirmed by Blizzard yet but I really do not doubt most of my information at this point. Let's say that ... at least 90% 99.9% of it should be accurate.

Quote from Blizzard staffDisparities between tanks
Are you struggling on hard mode raid encounters because your guild picked the wrong tank? I understand that some of you are, but according to our data, it's a pretty small minority of players trying those encounters. If you're just offended that the health pools are not identical, then your argument isn't going to carry as much weight as a guild that hit a brick wall because they didn't have the best tank for an encounter.
When druids couldn't apply the Thunderclap debuff, that was considered a big problem. The fact that a druid can't interrupt as well as a warrior is still considered a big problem by some. We used to let abilities such as Berserker Rage, Spell Reflect or Intervene play big roles on some encounters, but that inevitably leads to one tank being massively better on one encounter than another. None of the deltas are massive in the current game in our opinion, and we think that the number of cases of players who state with certainty that they can detect a difference is overstated.
