I noticed that you didn't mention starfall in the "undocumented changes" and that you also said that starfall will do more damage with two targets, but this is no longer the case as far as I know. The new tooltip of starfall is:

You summon a flurry of stars from the sky on all targets within 40 yards of the caster, each dealing 369 to 427 Arcane damage. Maximum 20 stars. Lasts 10 sec.

And the speed of the stars has been increased significantly, fast enough that 20 stars can fall on a single target. So starfall no longer really has increased damage when used in multi target situations, but it still can be useful to save for aoe in some cases.

The Starfall change was documented in the patch notes -- it just totally slipped my mind.

You are correct, when they increased the speed on Starfall, it was so that all 20 stars would hit a single target, so Starfall is now no longer more useful against two targets. There was a "bug" earlier where Starfall would drop more than 20 total stars with multiple targets up, but that has been changed.

I knew it; my mind just sort of went into cruise control mode about it since it's been that way for over a year now.
