Blizzard has announced what they call Stat and System Changes for Cataclysm on the official WOW forum. MMO Champion has reposted this in a slightly easier to read form.

Mischievious Mages and Portal Roulette
Cold Comfort mentioned portal roulette and how his guild mages stack portals.
http://blog.cold-comfort.org/portal-roulette-mischief/
He links to Spicy Tuna's explanation of how to play portal roulette as a single mage. Note that this is bad behavior at worse and mischief at best and other examples of mage misbehavior are listed here.

Monday Morning Addons
For some reason the Blog-o-Sphere is full of addon reviews and recommendations this morning. UpRank scans your action bars and replaces any low ranked spell you have there with the highest ranked one you have. Apparently this is often a problem for dual spec characters who have just leveled.

Dreambound recommends using Damia's customized bars to keep the boss timer DBM from being confusing. Note that you have to reload this each time there is an update to DBM, which will be a major downside for many players.
http://dreambound-druid.blogspot.com/2010/03/customized-dbm-bars-from-damia-ui.html
No Stock UI talks about an addon that raid leaders (and ONLY raid leaders) can use to set up the vampire bite rotation when you attack the Blood Queen Lana’thel in Icecrown Citadel. For this instance who is bitten and in what order is the difference between success and failure. Details of the boss battle are at the second link.
