Patch 5.4 hotfixes for October 3

Another healthy round of hotfixes for patch 5.4 have been released to the official blog. Along with some fixes and adjustments to a few different classes are a whole host of adjustments to various encounters in the Siege of Orgrimmar raid. In addition, a welcome change to cleave and multistrike trinkets was also added.
- Trinkets with cleave and multistrike effects no longer require players to be facing the target to deal damage.
- In the Kor'kron Dark Shaman encounter, Blind Blademasters in the Drag should no longer enter combat with players during the fight.
- Magnataurs can no longer be pickpocketed, thus ending the reign of really huge rogues.
