CATACLYSM SURVIVOR'S GUIDE

Flame Shock has written a very good guide to all the Cataclysm changes. There are links to maps for the dungeon entrances and leveling zones, too.  This is PvE only but a Must Read.  Many thanks to Pot for recommending it.

A Druid Solos Kael'thas Sunstrider

Vallen is a feral druid who enjoys collecting unusual gear for his cat. The article covers how any feral druid (bear or cat) can take down this boss solo.  (I thought Kael'thas Sunstrider is the last boss in the Eye in Tempest Keep instance but Soredewa points out this is Magister’s Terrace, a 5-man Heroic.  Thanks for the correction, Soredewa!)

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.
http://criticalqq.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/inout-blogger/

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.
