Are you having trouble fighting a certain class? WOW Insider is doing a series on strategies to counter the various classes which tell you what you are going to be up against. It's general but may provide hints to help you kill a group of players you always have trouble with. And if you play this class, you may find hints to improve your game.
I'll update the list as Zach writes more of his introductory guides.

Game Drop Rates
The Big Love Rocket mount is dropping during this year's Love Is In The Air holiday at a very very low rate, as in there are 17 big pink rocket mounts in the U.S to date courtesy of this WOW Insider article.
http://www.wow.com/2010/02/17/drop-rate-of-big-love-rocket-not-a-bug/
The author mentions a previous article about drop rate probabilities. It's quite interesting so I am linking to it here.

100 Great WOW Videos (and More) UPDATED
Coldbear's list of great WOW video moments, suitable for browsing the next time WOW's down all day for maintenance (which will almost certainly be next Tuesday). These seem to be in date order with the most recent at the bottom of the list. Some of the earlier links are dead.
http://coldbear.wordpress.com/best-of-wow/
UPDATE: Coldbear has been working hard and has come up with another list of great WOW items. Most are videos, but not all. There's an easy to use gear simulator called AskMrRobot listed, too. Note that it only works for some classes.

The Feral Druid Bear Guide (Patch 3.3)
WOW Insider continues its series on current class information with a profile of the feral druid bears. This covers the advantages and disadvantages of playing a feral bear, has information on talents and stats, heirlooms, gear, enchants, and glyphs you need as a high level bear, and covers spell rotations/casting sequences.
http://www.wow.com/2010/02/17/shifting-perspectives-bear-101/#continued
There's a link to a video that shows the feral druid bear casting sequence in action. I've included this below.
