The upcoming 3.3.2 patch is set to be released next week (February 2nd at this stage). Blizzard has posted the patch notes for this mini-patch on the official Korean WoW site. The most noticable changes include some small fixes to make dungeons run smoother, some class buffs for druids, shamans and warlocks and a much needed nerf for prot warriors. We will also see the introduction of Toravon the Ice Watcher in the Vault of Archavon and the start of Season 8 (Arena).
The translated patch notes can be seen below. Please note that some of the wording or accuracy may be slightly off. If you notice any mistakes, please post in comments with the correct wording.
