3.0.8 PTR: Build 9386

Last night the PTR was updated with a new build; there were a number of spell changes, some Glyph changes for Death Knights, and a few changes to PVP item sets (not graphical, though).  Below is a list of everything new and changed, as well as some finds from the last build.  We'll likely be updating this throughout the day as we explore the changes in this build more in-depth.

General

• Creatures now give full reputation when killed, regardless of player level compared to theirs.  Examples: Argent Dawn, Cenarion Expedition, Sporeggar, Timbermaw Hold
