OK well, some new thoughts on the latest in 3.3.3.  First of all, no, I have no idea when 3.3.3 is being released.  I’m hoping it isn’t released too soon, as it does need work. I logged into the PTR again yesterday, and a lot of my addons are still broken. 

Logging in to the PTR, I see they finally implemented trading in marks of honor for Commendation of Service.  I’m a little disappointed, in that you can only hold 10 at once, so you have to trade 10 marks, use the Commendations, get more, use them again, lather, rinse, repeat, up until you hit the honor cap of 75,000.  I’m also disappointed they didn’t raise the honor cap.  Also, while the tooltip says you redeem them for 2000 honor, it only yields 1850 honor.  I don’t know if that is intended, or if it’s a bug.  We’ll see. 

Boomkins are getting a buff in 3.3.3…yay!   I’m not going through all the math and numbers, but in a nutshell, [Starfall] and [Nature's Grasp] are changing.  Starfall will  give about 2.5x more damage per star than before, and Nature’s Grasp will now have 3 charges per cast.  What that means is, after it roots someone, if they break out of the roots, it will root them again, up to 2 more times.  This will definitely help us out in PvP, allowing us more chance to make some distance between us and melee.

That’s all for now, I know I’ve been slacking.  I’ll try to do better.
