New items - Talent/Mechanic changes during S4?

[neej]

Hi,

I was wondering what you guys think whether the mechanics change (Spellpower, unified hit/crit/haste etc.) and even the talent trees will be released during S4.

My reason for this are the recently discovered items on Wrath of the Lich King Beta. They perfectly look like S4 level replacements of the S1 Cloak and S3 Trinkets - they don't appear level 80 to me and don't say so:

(Ignore mmo's comment whether they get upgraded for free. They are clear upgrades so have be purchased indeed...)

Those items are only available in unified form. That made me wonder if there are plans to create the uber imbalance during a season. I am no pro-gamer but it would make WoW very "unprofessional" for an e-sports pov. Well it might work out if they leave the talent trees out until end of S4.

Personally, I dislike the cloak a little bit at it would interfere my haste stacking. Anyway, I would still grind my 55K now .

No, i don't think so, and if they go live it would certainly be crappy (but fun in a way), and it would be a great buff for my pally.

Personally i hate that cloak, as just finished the grind for the badges one and i thought it would last a season, still hope so but it wouldn't make sense to release items for level 70 in the expansion.
