Since folks were asking (And I know Legedi especially wants to see) I transferred Shal over to the PTR to take some screenies of how things have changed. The quality of the images sucks - I'll try to take better ones tonight after Karazhan.
Basically all of the Kara tank loot is taking on the look of the Dungeon 3 set with black and red trim:

Incidentally, what did it look like before?

P.S. T4 Warrior now, on a human.
I'm confused, are we talking about random tankish loot drops in Kara or all of T4?

The tank set from Kara - T-4 remains unchanged.

It was the ugliest set ever. And that's including the Paladin sets. I was hoping for a T3 remodel, but it's a big improvement.

Much better! Congrats, warriors.

Much nicer! Now they need to go fix the healing leather set (which is really, really ugly as far as healing gear goes) and then I will be happy. :)

Frankly, I think Dreadnaught looks like crap. But I seem to be mostly alone in that regard.
I do have to admit I really like the red Wrath they used for Mantle of Abrahmis.

Speaking of T3--at least the shoulders seem to have been selectively recycled into D3. Almost like they just filed down the rough bits and recolored it:
Faith: http://www.wowhead.com/?screenshot=view&4.525#2124
Hallowed: http://www.wowhead.com/?screenshot=view&4.662#20893
Dreamwalker: http://www.wowhead.com/?screenshot=view&4.521#7741
Moonglade: http://www.wowhead.com/?screenshot=view&4.637#21869
Cryptstalker: http://www.wowhead.com/?screenshot=view&4.530#674
Beast Lord: http://www.wowhead.com/?screenshot=view&4.650#20001
See? The trend continues, with the sets becoming more different until:
Dreadnaught: http://www.wowhead.com/?screenshot=view&4.523#587
Bold: http://www.wowhead.com/?screenshot=view&4.653#19615
Wait a second (you might say) haven't I seen those shoulders somewhere else? Yes, you have--As the new off-set tank art from Karazhan, Dreamwalker, Moonglade, Doomplate ( http://www.wowhead.com/?itemset=661), and Wastewalker ( http://www.wowhead.com/?screenshot=view&4.659#16365).
Man, Dreamwalker gets around as much as Arcanist!

My apologies, I saw "Kara tank loot" and thought "T4" which is obviously isn't.
Blargh,

Hey, some helms looked sweet. Like my tanking hat (how I wish I could show it in bear form!).

I'm using the WoW Model Viewer for previews, and the test MPQ's are loaded into the program before the live MPQ's.
When I equip a warrior with the Karazhan tank loot, it still has the old "clown-o-look", though, i.e. Eternium Greathelm. How comes that the graphics on the PTR are different (as seen in your pictures)?

I don't know - I've never messed with the WoW Model Viewer.

The old models are still in the .mpq, and wowmodelviewer has not yet been mapped to the new values (outdated items.csv). To put it another way, both models' data are still in the new .mpqs from the PTR, but the model viewer is looking at the old location.

Ok, thanks. Is there a way to update items.csv myself, and if, how do you do it?
