Just to give you a taste of whether or not this is real, this image was taken from the thread at MMO-Champion:
By the way -- feel free to delete this if you do not wish this discussion; I completely understand.

Probably not a good idea to give an info link that requires registration.
Then again, it's a wonder why I haven't registered at MMO-C yet...
Edit: Registered; thread's dead, Zed.
When in mortal danger,
When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
Wave your arms and shout.

So it is.
You can find it here on Gameriot. For how long... I don't know.
The thread on MMO-Champion referenced MMOwned, but I'll not visit that festering pit.

Looks like the thread has been reposted, and there is an updated working talent calculater for the Death Knight!

There is a new wiki tracking WotLK leaks. The folks at EJ seem to have moved past debating the validity of the data to simply debating the current alpha changes (F&F alpha...i.e., all new changes likely to change even before beta): http://wotlk.wikidot.com/start
The information is being data mined from a FFA wotlk client that blizzard had temporarily open for download, apparently by accident.

I am really interested in how Death Knights are going to play. Necros were my favorite Diablo 2 class and there are a lot of necro-like abilities in there. I know the DK starting zone is going to be chock full on release, but I just might have to join them. :)
Screens of DK starting armor on the various races are on Morde's link up there. Looks sharp!
Also, a DK talent calculator can be viewed here, supposedly using info mined from the Alpha client.

I keep hoping that they haven't listed hunter stuff yet because they are working on fixing how the shots work so that you don't get a list like this for best DPS weapons for a BM hunter source. (Though I don't think that thread is stickied anymore)
Quote:1. Barrel-Blade Longrifle: 81.2 dps, 2.6 - Actual hunter dps: 881.33dps
2. Wolfslayer Sniper Rifle: 79.1 dps, 2.7 - Actual hunter dps: 879.44 dps
3. Don Santos' Famous Hunting Rifle: 73.7 dps, 2.7 - Actual hunter dps: 874.95 dps
4. Arcanite Steam-Pistol: 87.2 dps, 2.9 - Actual hunter dps: 868.82 dps
5. Legionkiller: 90.7 dps, 2.9 - Actual hunter dps: 868.81 dps
6. Bristleblitz Striker: 95.8 dps, 3.0 - Actual hunter dps: 868.59 dps
7. Tuskbreaker: 86.4 dps, 2.9 - Actual hunter dps: 867.14 dps
8. Black Bow of the Betrayer: 95.8 dps, 3.0 - Actual hunter dps: 863.68 dps
9. Serpent Spine Longbow: 90.7 dps, 3.0 - Actual hunter dps: 860.24 dps
10. Steelhaw Crossbow: 79.1 dps, 2.8 - Actual hunter dps: 858.55 dps
11. Sunfury Bow: 83.3 dps, 2.9 - Actual hunter dps: 857.08 dps
12. Ancient Sin'dorei Longbow: 86.3 dps, 3.0 - Actual hunter dps: 849.97 dps
13. Gladiator's Heavy Crossbow: 82.4 dps, 3.1 - Actual hunter dps: 824.64 dps
14. Wrathtide Longbow: 75.5 dps, 3.0 - Actual hunter dps: 822.04 dps
A 73.7 DPS world drop weapon should never be better DPS than a 95.8 DPS weapon that drops off the last boss of the expansion. But well that is the way things are right now. So I'm hoping they are fixing that first then working on the other stuff. Having to use Cheeky's spreadsheet to find out if that 88 DPS weapon is actually better than your 75 DPS weapon should not be a requirement for high end play. At least all most other classes have to do is look at the bonuses on the weapon and then look at the damage range (not the DPS) and you can usually tell pretty quickly. Yeah enh shaman run into some of this as well, but not as badly.
And yes the list will change some as the rest of your gear changes and haste rating on gear can have a huge effect on the list as well.
And yes things aren't as out of whack for SV/MM hunters but well beast is top DPS in end game so it being so wonky is actually worse than if one of the lower DPS specs was so wonky.
This is of course nothing new. Hunter weapon speed was just as important pre TBC but for different reasons than it is now (back then it was because of how aimed shot and auto shot worked, now it's because of how steady shot and auto shot work, things are better now I think but they aren't there yet).
So my hope is that is getting fixed first then they'll work on the rest of the stuff for that class. :)

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.

Yeah hunters are way over due for a complete overhaul. No class should need to macro or basically be doing the kicking in Madden constantly to do acceptable dps. Shot weaving is way to hard, and adds way to big of a dependency on weapon speed.

Well, shot WEAVING isn't too hard, and is a nice challenge over 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 or "Spam macro till it's dead or you are.". But the consequences of weaving poorly are way too steep, I agree. It'd be nice to see clear upgrades as well (and in places more accessible than the last boss of every new 25man instance) instead of having to have a math degree and some luck to figure out if maybe this +20dps weapon is actually better or not...

Very few of these "leaked" talents/spells will make live in their current state. Just reading down the list, almost every third ability would be totally broken in PvP.
Blizzard tends to develop these spells and then later on in the beta process, tweak them for PvP balance. Don't be surprised to see much of this thrown out or drastically altered. Just a walk down the Priest list made me laugh. I mean, Divine Hymn? Come on!

The talent calculator links are down. Blizzard sent an email to most of the major talent calculator sites that allowed personal trees and asked them to remove them.

Agreed. But I do still find these interesting for two reasons:
1. It's a bit like buying a lottery ticket and imagining how to spend the money.
2. It reveals the concepts that Blizzard is considering. For example, priests and druids both include talents that assist/encourage hybrid builds or swapping between healing and damage specs without substantial gear changes. Does this mean that Blizzard will be doing something to tweak the respec process?

Exactly.
Quote:* Titan's Grip - Allows you to equip two-handed axes, maces and swords in one hand, but you attack 28/26/24/22/20% slower then normal (fury)
This was rumored for TBC and was dropped.
Quote:* Shockwave - "Sends a wave of force in front of the warrior, causing ${$m3/100*$AP} damage (based on attack power) and stunning all enemy targets within 10 yards in a frontal cone for 4 sec. This ability causes a high amount of threat." [20 rage, 45 sec cooldown] (prot)
ZOMG better aoe tanking for warriors?!
Quote:* Safeguard - ,"Reduces damage taken by the target of your Intervene ability by 20/40/60% for 6 sec. In addition, your Charge, Intercept and Intervene abilities have a 33%/66%/100% chance to remove all movement impairing effects when used." (prot)
This seems geared towards pvp.
Quote:* _Bladestorm - Instantly Whirlwind all nearby targets and for the next 4.5 sec you will perform a whirlwind attack every 1.5 seconds. While under the effects of Bladestorm, you can move but cannot perform any other attacks or abilities but you do not feel pity or remorse or fear and you cannot be stopped unless killed. [25 rage, cooldown: 90 sec] (arms)
Wow. Emo much there?
Quote:* Stalwart Protector - You gain 1/2 rage every time you parry or dodge an attack.
Throwing well geared prot warriors a bone so they don't need to downgrade their gear I guess. Useless for a raid tank for the most part.
Quote:* Critical Block - Your successful blocks have a 10/20/30% chance to block double the normal amount. (prot)
On the surface this looks good.

Yes, but they chose to use the same wording again, when there aren't currently any remorse-inducing abilities in the game. Does that mean we'll soon see:
Puppy Dog Eyes (Rank 1): 1.5 second cast time. Fixes a stare of immense cuteness upon the target, overcoming them with the uncontrollable urge to say, "awww," and an inability to attack. Lasts 15 seconds (Cooldown: 5 minutes).
