My initial impression when I read over the changes was that they all looked reasonable, based on my time soloing, 5-man normals, a few heroics, and some BG / TB pvp.
edit: It's worth noting, my wife has done the holy priest thing since BC, and she's one of the many unhappy people with cataclysm. It's funny because from my perspective (dps, group leader to some extent), she's been doing fine, and the fights have been fun and interesting... but apparently she's rather unhappy with the whole experience. "Frustrating" is the most commonly used word.

Of course she may appear to 'be doing fine'. If she's like any of us who are good at their classes, we can make the best of crappy situations... however having to work (read not have fun) to achieve those same results isn't enjoyable or fun at all.

Yup, that was my point. From my perspective the content has been going well, but she's definitely not enjoying it. She's saying many of the same things that other healers are saying.

I'm glad you chimed in Pally, you're an incredible tank. It isn't you at all, it's the game design.

Blizzard cant win.. First the game was getting to easy. Now it seems the game might offer a challenge and people dont like it.
This.
And the trolls are just as easy to troll as everybody else

True but they seem too consistently, at least since BC was released, have far more unhappy than happy and that is never a good thing.
Do you have official numbers, or do you base this on the few people whining on various forums?

I'm interested in seeing how they try to clarify "healing in PVE is pretty much working as intended."
I bet the devs also felt that ToA and NGE were also working as intended. I just hope their feelings change to align again more to my preferences, because so shortly after the xpack came out, I find myself not caring to log in. In BC I played like mad until real life interrupted it, and in WotLK I lasted well over 4 months.

I share her pain.
It's just so weird. I watched the guys level their DPS class (mage, rogue, rogue, feral druid) and they are telling me how much fun they are having. Meanwhile, for the first time in 6 years I feel like I'm running uphill, against the wind, in the snow... naked.

And yet their subscription numbers have stayed about the same over the past 3+ years.
How can that be if there are so many more people unhappy with the game than there are happy?

I dunno Sly, I'm having an amazing time with my disc priest, ya know, running BC content for achievements. The cataclysm extension has been a lot of fun for me this week.... running old world content.
