Priests

• Talents

    • Shadowform: This talent also now causes Devouring Plague and Vampiric Touch to benefit from haste. Both the period length and the duration of these spells will be reduced by haste. In addition, the mana cost has been reduced from 32% to 13% of base mana.

Rogues

• Deadly Poison: In addition to its existing effects, when a rogue applies Deadly Poison to a target which has already reached the maximum number of applications, this will also trigger the poison which the rogue is using on his or her other weapon.
  
• Talents
  • Assassination
    • Improved Poisons: Bonus chance to trigger Deadly Poison from this talent increased.

Shamans

• Talents
  • Elemental
    • Elemental Mastery: This talent now increases spell haste by 15% instead of critical strike chance while active.

  • Affliction
    • Improved Drain Soul: This talent now reduces threat by 10%/20%, up from 5%/10%.
    
    
  • Destruction

Graphics

• A new feature has been added to the D3D graphics engine to improve texture management (particularly for Windows XP users). If you are experiencing random crashes related to file read errors or out of memory, this new backend may help. To enable the new backend, add the following line to your Config.WTF file: SET gxApi "d3d9ex".

Items

• Shaman Tier-9 4-Piece Set Bonus (Elemental): This set bonus now does an additional 10% of Lava Burst’s initial damage over time instead of increasing the size of the Lava Burst.

I find it intresting that rogues are almost back to what we had in Beta

you all remmber when Master Poisoner had diffrent effects
and deadly poison applied Instant Poison, this is close enough for me (and fixes the horrible issue of weapon swapping)

On the PTR it looks like you buy your T10 i251 gear with emblems of frost (95 for chest/helm/legs and 60 for shoulder/gloves). To get i264 you need a class group specific Mark of Sanctification and to turn in your old i251 item. Vanquisher's Mark of Sanctification is for Druid, Rogue, DK and Mage for example. To get i277 you need a Heroic Mark of Sanctification and turn in your old i264 item.

The other emblem gear is 30 for idols/sigil/totem/libram, 50 for back pieces, 60 for trinket/glove/belt, 95 for chest. All i264. Primoridial Saronite is buyable at 23.

Indeed that is how the sets work.
