2.3 arrived yesterday but RL work kept me from logging on early to catch our guild's ZA run. I was picked for our guild's exploratory run. They waited for me which I really appreciated but I just took to long ....
Anyway, I haven't had the chance to test out the new changes to the protection spec but here are the notables changes:
- Devastate now applies Sunder Armor - no need to apply sunder armor before you use devastate.
- Expertise - 1 expertise will equal to .25% chance to be dodged or parried. More hits means more threat.
- Fear will no longer cause you to lose aggro.
- Shield Slam now has a 100% chance to dispel.
- Taunt, Challenging Shout will now be affected by Hit.
There are a bunch of new badge rewards too that I haven't reviewed yet. Which item are you looking forward to get? Something that is a big and must have upgrade and have set your sight on?

Chestguard of the Stoic Guardian, and Unwavering Leggards because Nightbane and Curator hate me.
Slikk's Cloak of Placation and the Bracers of Ancient Phalanx are also very attractive.
Did some farming last night, and the new devastate worked like a charm. I saw a very noticeable boost in my dps over what I was getting on the same mobs the night before. I's a happy orc.
I've dropped revenge from my toolbar :D devastate all the way when slam isn't up.
dps hasn't gone up for me but threat sure has.
