Nameplates and Cooldown Monitors

No Stock UI has found two new addons to help raiders.  One is a nameplate addon for PvP called Docs Nameplates.

The other is called Flump.  It keeps track of when any player activates a raid cooldown, a portal or drops a feast, and also when the activated ability wears off.

Podcast Reviews

If you really like listening to WOW podcasts, you will want to head over to r9sid9nt9vil's blog and read the podcast reviews s/he's posting.  Once you arrive, click on Reviews in the categories on the right side and all the reviews will be there, latest on top.  The Nov. 24 posting talks about the methodology for reviews, so it is a good place to start.  Whether you agree with the review or not, you likely will find new podcasts to add to your listening rotation.

The Shattering Allows Renaming of Demon Minions (Warlocks)

Warlocks rejoice!  You can get the new demon trainers (located near the warlock trainers) to rename your minions.  It costs 50 gold per creature but at least you can rename them.  (Or just go get them killed, and summon a new one.)

Shattering Disappointment

The Pot isn't exactly thrilled with The Shattering.
http://www.mmomeltingpot.com/2010/11/editorial-did-i-fall-asleep/

Cynwise is more positive but poses some interesting questions.
http://cynwise.wordpress.com/2010/11/24/burning-down-the-house/

I'm not posting any "better than sliced bread" raves.  I'm looking for interesting discussions of what Cataclysm's coming means to the game and the game community.
