While the tier 12 sets on the patch 4.2 PTR aren't even technically sets yet, their set bonuses were still buried in the game files for observant folks. Blizzard told the truth -- these bonuses are pretty unique and a lot of them seem based thematically on Firelands, designed to fix some raiding spec issues, or both. Check them out below and after the cut!

Death knight DPS

• 2-piece Your Horn of Winter ability also grants you 3 runic power every 5 sec for 2 min.
• 4-piece Your critical strikes with melee abilities deal 15% additional damage as Fire damage over 4 sec.

Death knight tanking

• 2-piece Your melee attacks cause Burning Blood on your target, which deals 800 Fire damage every 2 for 6 sec and causes your abilities to behave as if you had 2 diseases present on the target.
• 4-piece Your Dancing Rune Weapon grants 15% additional parry chance.

Wowhead's new news site has datamined the new patch 4.2 PTR client and come up with, well, a whole heck of a lot of stuff. There are over 800 new items in this patch alone. So far we've seen:

• Some tier set names, including Immolation for paladins and Elementium Dragon for death knights; the warrior set has molten giant faces on the shoulders.
• Several mounts, like the new BoA epic horse and wolf to go along with your Warbringer/Warbound title.
• Item names that may indicate different color gear depending on your spec.
• Item level 363 crafted weapons and 378 crafted gear.
• The return of Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros.
• A 36-slot gem bag (as well as inscription and mining versions)!
• And lots more!

There's sure to be a lot more cool stuff incoming, including new models, so keep an eye out.
