The most obvious thing is the new raid. This means we get to watch as the best teams in the work work on their world firsts, new content and bosses for us to fight, and a lot of changed game content around this new raid. I won't say more because if you haven't watched the patch notes, the trailer for 5.4, or anything else, it's not worth spoiling for you. I am in the camp that hopes that Garrosh is defeated but not dead. I think it would be interesting to see what a summarily defeated and deposed Garrosh would do.
New class changes coming. Fortunately in Mists we haven't had complete class overhauls every single patch like some past expansions (looking at you Wrath) So in most cases you class isn't going to have any significant changes. Unless your me, all three class/specs I play are getting nerfed. Disc Priest=nerfed, Prot Pally=nerfed, and as Solarflair of Convert to raid announced, hunters may have a new mount for patch 5.4... it's called the bench. (Keep in mind that we still are in beta testing so stuff could still change. It could, really /crosses fingers)
Cross realms/virtual realms/whatever they are calling them this week are coming as well. This means that in 5.4 you might find you realm combined with other realm to fix lower population realms etc... I have gone through this at length already. Be aware these are not happening the day of 5.4 but they plan on rolling out the realm combinations in the weeks following. If you don't see it on the first day, that doesn't mean your realm won't be effected. I am looking forward to being able to break that 11 toon limit to build up my horde side a little more using this personally.
Timeless Isle. Listen up people who still need to be geared. You can take your lowbies here and start grinding out i496 gear. While this isn't quiet as good as ToT raid finder, it can build you up to the new LFR that last I heard had a 495 ilevel to enter. I might be wrong on that, but not by much. There will also be new battle pets, mounts, etc.. on this island so explore away!!!
Legendaries, if you have been keeping up on your legendary quests then blizzard has said it will be possible to get your legendary cloak on your first day. It will be some grinding, but they seem to want you to be able to have your cloak from the get go here. The new world boss, you won't be able to fight until you have one.
Flex raids... I am tempted to start this tier doing ToT one day, and Flex raids the other. We have enough interest in raiding I would love to be able to include more people. I really can't say yet, the raid team is still in flux, and until I know what is happening I don't know where we will land. Oh, and lets not forget to mention here whilst talking raids, Throne of Thunder will be nerfed by 20% all around.
And more!!! I know I am missing stuff here, and feel free to leave you opinion on any of these things, or anything I have missed. What are you looking forward to in 5.4? You have 9 days to think about it!
