It appears that Baine Bloodhoof will be replacing Cairne as leader of Thunder Bluff in 3.3. Apparently this should be reflected in the PTR soon. I wonder if the rumored Thrall/Garrosh switch will also occur in 3.3? Food for thought, certainly.

What's with the dwarf DK wearing the T5 warlock set?

I know there's snow and ice and all in Icecrown but these Death Knight dwarves playing hockey while we're jousting one another to see who gets to knock of the Lich King's door is just unacceptable. Just shows we're wasting our time and they're bored waiting.

And that dude's high sticking, too. Just not right. I guess we can only expect that kind of play from a Death Knight. They're the Bruins of Azeroth. (As a note, I was born and grew up in Providence, RI, so I meant to insult the Bruins there as they are from Boston. BRING IT, BEANTOWN.)
