When 3.02 came out I didn't notice much difference with my main mage, then I got round to playing on some of my other alt, rogue - fine, druid - nice, warlock - instantcast affliction, I'm happy. However they have completely screwed my hunter, rather than having a defensive pet only attack when you or it was attacked, now a defensive pet will charge out an attack your target when you shoot it... wtf. I found this out by walking up to a large pack of troggs, shooting the closest one to pull it away from the group only to have my wolf charge in thereby agroing all the other troggs, resulting in both it's and my death. The only time that this is a good thing is if you're just another dps in a raid, but if you're on pulling duty, or you're soloing this can never be a good thing so now I have to have my pet on passive all the time, meaning I have to micromanage it all the time. gah.
As far as the guild name and Tabard goes, I'll agree it was a bit surprising but pretty cool. You may have to wait, if you were hoping for me to be your main healer, as I have these pesky exams coming up, how annoying, don't they realise they get in the way of important things like wow.
On the subject of Tauren warrior's, I've just started one to replace my bloodelf hunter that I was playing with my friend, and I really like it, the extra health can only ever be a good thing on a tank, and warstomp is highly useful if you've over-pulled and want a head start on you're escape.
