Spells MISSING instead of resisting

As I recall spells never missed pre-Echoes of Doom. Let me know if this is false but, I remember spells only being resisted and this rarely happened in PvP unless there was a shadow priest or a pally around with their shadow resistances. Has anyone else noticed that when doing pvp your spells now miss the target? I found this actually happened more against rogues and I guessed that their avoidance now affects our spells. Is this because the stats were all merged in the patch? Are we going to need to stack hit rating for pvp now? And how the heck does a shadow bolt that will curve to follow your target miss!?

Re: Spells MISSING instead of resisting

From the patch notes:

Combat Log Changes:
  • The combat log now differentiates between a spell failure due to resistance and spell failure due to missing the target. Where once both events reported as a resist; a spell missing the target is now reported as a miss.
I surmise that this also applies to the animations.
