Totally off-topic ... sorry. Anyone else noticing that the WoW.com header bar keeps disappearing?

I noticed that too. Since I can't contact you through that, I'll link it here: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/underdev/3p9/gnomeregan2.xml

Yes and it's become a minor annoyance since I like to refresh the site so much. Let's hope it gets fixed soon.

What are the shoulders seen in that screenshot? I'm REALLY curious....

Tier 6 from Black Temple.

Awesome, thanks! Now to level a priest up to that point, get the shoulders, and wear them for everything except raids and the daily heroic.
Yes, I think they're that impressive. Not awesome, but honestly artistic.

Instead of having so many different healing spells that basically do the same darn thing (Flash, Lesser, heal, and greater heal) why not just make it chaneled where healing increases the longer it's on?

Wrong place... nevermind!

I hope they lower hit cap if they are going to take out raid debuffs like Misery's 3% hit. As a demo warlock, I can't reach into the warlock's affliction tree to grab the 3% hit so I have to go with 17% and honestly, without a hit trinket, that's pretty hard to do, at least I've found it so. I'm right at 14% without a hit trinket and would be way over if I replaced one with a hit trinket.
