Tempest Keep and SSC loots buffed on PTR

According to our friends at MMO-Champion, several items that drop in Tempest Keep and Serpentshrine Caverns have been upgraded on the PTR. In addition, there's apparently a new shield added to the loot table in either Mount Hyjal or Black Temple based on its item level. Speculation abounds as to whether this is the first of many new items or not.I personally have no idea if this is being done to balance TK and SSC with Arena Season 3, if this means that Season 3 is coming with the patch or not, and what that means as to how good Season 3 items will be. None of the upgrades is so enormous as to make or break having a weapon, but they are nice little bumps if you happen to already have, say, World Breaker or the Twinblade of the Phoenix.
Void Reaver over there is just thrilled that his loots are getting a boost. Look at how happy he is. That great big smile in no way is caused by panic at hordes (or alliances) of adventurers coming to crack him open for the succulent treats inside.

I wasn't sure if I should keep my Arcanite-Steam Pistol if Sunfury Bow of the Phoenix dropped, but now I'm sure :D

Its already been stated by "blues" that Season 3 will most likely come out with or after Zul'Aman (patch 2.3).

Blue links about S3:
"Yep. And for those asking, season 3 is likely to start either coinciding with or some time after the zul'aman patch (patch 2.3)."

S3 Likely to be released with Zul'Aman
"Season 3 is likely to start when the Zul'Aman patch (Patch 2.3) is launched, however there is a chance that it might be delayed to some time after the release of that patch.
Additionally it should be interesting for you to know that once season 3 have started, it will be possible for you to buy Season 1 gear using honor points (approximately 15k/piece). "

I wonder if they are going to buff some of the armor items in SSC and TK as well? I would love to see my Argent Shoulders get a Gem Slot :)
