At a glance, I didn't notice any differences between this and the calculators that have been up on Wowhead (and elsewhere) for a little while - i.e., they both reflect the current beta versions of everything. And I actually find that the Wowhead calculators run better for me (after all, talent calculators were Wowhead's original reason for being). Still, it's exciting to see these made official: a sign that the Lich King draws ever nearer. Can anyone spot a difference between the official calculators and what we already knew?
Update: Now up on the US site too (thanks, Darias).

The warlock 51pt Affliction talent is significantly different between the blizzard site and wowhead/mmo-champ.
wowhead/mmochamp: "...and increasing all damage done by your damage-over-time effects on the target by 15% for 12 sec..." Thus, haunt increases all other DOTs damage.
Blizzard: "...Damage is increased 5% for each of your damage-over-time effects on the target..." Thus, the damage Haunt does is increased by other DOTs.
The wowhead version is awesome. The Blizzard version is mediocre at best.

Thanks for the bug reports. These will be updated very soon. You can report errors on the official counters to wowguide@blizzard.com

I think they should keep the Samwise icons in there for the final release. :)

Priest VT is back to 5%, the wowhead calcs say 2%. I hope they did actually put it back to 5% and its not a mistake. =)

Malestorm weapons seems to be for "your next spell" and not just for lightning bolt or whatever.
So instant healing wave works as well i guess if u need to heal rather than to kill :D

Okay, waitjustaminute. Arcane Focus looks like it got savagely nerfed. It's gone from 5 points max to 3, and Blizz clarified the language about the whole Spell Hit thing but it looks like it's gone from a maximum possible +10% Spell Hit to +3%. Am I seeing this right?
