Pretty obvious, its going to be a troll-themed 10 man dungeon, located in Zul'drak. They have the whole entrance pretty much set up as it is with the giant temple to the east of the Gundrak entrances. Plus its tradition that there be a 10 man troll instance as the last piece of content before a new expansion.
I have to agree that the recent resilience changes hurt both Mages and Rogues, especially in the 2v2 bracket. Both classes rely purely on burst damage to achieve their kills. Once overkill fades off, rogue sustained dps is negligible in arenas.
Disc priests and resto druids are going to be ridiculously OP until healing gets the inevitable nerf they have planned. Since the hotfix went live even mediocre geared priests / druids have been incredibly difficult to kill in BG's, even while being focused by 2-3 players.
I predict druid / warlock / hunter will be a comp that comes outta nowhere to perform far above the norm. I also predict a rise in popularity (and rankings) for the 2 healer 1 dps team, such as priest-pally/druid-warrior. till healing gets nerfed these comps are going to be ungodly @ wearing down other teams till they are oom.
I also agree that we'll see more people in PvE off-set gear to try and increase sustained dps to negate the resilience changes. Perhaps not healers, they should still stack resil, but for dps classes I wouldn't be surprised 1 bit.
UPDATE: 5:13pm PST: We are performing extended maintenance while we resolve some additional issues. We do not have an estimate on when the realms will be available for play but we will provide another update in approximately 1 hour. Thank you for your patience.
