The forums have been on fire the past few days, and for some reason the CMs have started answering all the questions they can about Burning Crusade talents and such. I'll go through all the important threads so you don't have to:

• The new drood Leader of the Pack ability also allows your party to heal themselves 2/4/6% when they critically hit. Noice!
• Drysc answers the questions about the drood's flight form: instant cast, but can only be cast out of combat, which means no instant escape. But the good news is you guys get it at 68-- everybody else has to wait till 70 to take to the air.
• Priests' Misery is a debuff, in case you were confused by the wording. Also, the Shadowfiend will generate around 2800 mana.
  
• Kalgan opens up his soul to locks-- Fel Guard is meant to replace VW with more damage, pets will scale according to gear, and while Improved Firestone is broken, it's not that high a priority at this point.
• If you buy the BC Collector's Edition, those noncombat pets will be given to each one of the characters on the account-- no fighting between your mains over which one gets it.
• Most of the BC dungeon loot will be token based (like ZG, AQ, etc) rather than set based (like MC and BWL). Not every piece will be treated this way (tier 4, we know, will mostly drop in Karazhan), but the devs see it as a better alternative to getting a bunch of druid drops on a run where you forgot to bring a druid.
• Finally, current "book" spells will be available from the class trainer at level 62. The books will still be around, but like a "vestigial tail" (nice one, Tseric), they'll see "decreasing usage."

Blizzard inches us ever closer to the expansion's release, and their ultimate domination of the known Universe!
