Wowhead adds group-by-slot and more

Although Wowhead has a blog now, and those of you who (like me) are huge fans of the site are probably reading it already and thus have already seen this news, I figure a good many Insider readers would be interested: Wowhead has released another round of new features.
- Stat weighting presets are updated for Wrath. If you have any suggestions on how the new presets could be improved, please drop by the thread on Wowhead's forums.
- Combat ratings (hit, crit, and haste) have been combined across melee, ranged, and spell, to reflect changes made in the 3.0 patch.
- Filters have been reorganized to cut back on clutter and scrolling.
- When using stat weightings, you can now group gear by slot (example). If the stat weightings are solid enough, this provides a much prettier (IMO) alternative to sites like Lootrank.
I like the "group by slot" especially, for quick access to gear lists. Another set of solid updates by the Wowhead team, making the best database even better. Thanks, folks!

WoWhead keeps getting better and better. It's a wonder anybody still uses thottbot, it's kinda primitive compared to wowhead.

WoWHead is just so freaking awesome.
See, this is the comment that's screenshotted along with three others and then used as a picture for another blog entry on how FRICKIN SWEET WoWHead is.

It's cool they updated that. I was searching for +hit gear a couple days ago an found it odd that they were still classifying it as "melee hit."

Wowhead and Thottbot are both good but Allakhazam isn't really my cup of tea.
