While guild talents may have been scrapped in Cataclysm, the bonuses you would have gotten from them appear to have survived the culling fairly intact -- as of this beta build, guild perks (as they're called) are active and awesome. This list is by no means exhaustive, as chances are good there'll be plenty more in the game.
The full list is after the cut, but here are a few to whet your appetite:

What you say is true, but the last time I checked I was still able to use invisibility+knife to bring back a player on gluth; that's the kind of thing I am talking about.

Every last one of these perks is amazing. I just pray that my current guild stays together through Cataclysm, because we have plenty of people who would get tons of XP for our guild quickly and get access to these amazing benefits!

Hey I Know You: Guild members' nameplates appear in a different color.
Just a thought...

I will buy Cataclysm and return to Warcraft for these features alone.

Has the progression of these perks been discussed/explained yet? Are they all available when Cata is released, or are they staggered? And how do we earn the Rank 2s?

So with all this extra stuff coming in from bountiful bags, can the guild bank get more slots?

Meh, your probably right. Maybe I'm just a bit nostalgic already. Also, demo dps is awesome.

A whole fucking page full of perks and you pick summoning to complain about?? I swear you could give people a million dollars and they would bitch they had to get a bigger bank to put it in. The funny thing is the complainers probably aren't in guilds

Guys, what do Heroism Points mean in Cata?
Everyone's A Hero (Rank 1): Increases Heroism points gained by 5%.
Everyone's A Hero (Rank 2): Increases Heroism points gained by 10%.
Is it the new badge system?

I like the look of all this, will help managing a guild alittle easier with money, since everyone will be donating whilst playing! Cool for new guilds!

Dang, makes me wish i was in a good guild, any friendley guilds in Azjol-Nerub recruiting? :)

Are these perks only available is your raiding with guild members? I'm curious to see how this will benefit people who've made a guild just for the bank tabs.

I don't have a link at the moment but Blizz has stated that guilds will gain XP by doing the things characters normally do like running dungeons, bgs, questing, etc. Guild XP is earned on an individual basis.
There are guild achievements that must be completed as a guild group, but those are separate and not what you need for these perks. However, the perks such as mass res might only work on guild members.
Mellorn Jul 2nd 2010 10:41AM
Oh, okay. Thanks!

"duration of buffs from all guild cauldrons"
YES! ALCHEMY IS BACK BABY

Mass resurrection sounds great, but I have some questions...
Who casts mass resurrection? Does it have to be a class that has resurrection already or can anyone do it? Do you have to be alive to use mass resurrection? How big a party do you need to be in to use it? There's no cooldown on it so it sounds like you could use it any time you want.
/g can someone group with me for a sec? I died and I'd rather mass rez than corpse run.
And questions on Reinforce rank 2, does that mean that gear takes no damage when you die or does that mean the 10% damage your gear normally takes is reduced by 10% so your gear takes 9% damage?

Wow! This is insane makes me want to join a serious guild...
