Daxxarri

It's easy to miss, but we've been making incremental hotfixes to both Warriors and Beast Mastery Hunters (as well as other classes, of course). There are likely more changes coming in 5.1 too. Some examples of stuff that's already been changed:

Fixed an issue that would prevent the stuns generated by Sturmangriff and Kriegstreiber from causing diminishing returns with each other and with themselves.
Healing performed by Geisterbesties summoned by the Stampede talent is now correctly reduced by 75%.
has been changed and now increases a pet's attack speed by 70%. Pet attack power is now unaffected by this ability.

Resetting Challenge Modes

Vaneras

It should hopefully come as good news that patch 5.1 will include a change that will clear cooldowns of 5 minutes or more when resetting or completing a Challenge Mode dungeon. This change will work similar to how the system currently works for raid encounters, which means that debuffs applied by spells and abilities such as Zeitkrümmung, Kampfrausch, or Heldentum will be cleared as well.

Ghost Form in Pandaria

Zarhym

Since the vast majority of Pandaria's content was designed around the use of ground mounts, we didn't include flight for players who are in spirit form (dead). There are a few locations, similar to the WoW days of old, where you can die and be unable to retrieve your corpse. The reality is this shouldn't be an overwhelming inconvenience to players, unless you're very frequently dying in unfortunate ways, and in unfortunate locations. Sometimes going with the Spirit Healer might be the best (or only) way to revive yourself. But that's a big reason why they've been in the game since launch.
You're right. I just spoke to Ghostcrawler about it a bit and am going to clarify my original post. I explained why we didn't initially include flight while in ghost form on Pandaria, but it's important to note that the developers are discussing the issue and might well add ghost flying to the new continent. We do recognize that it's possible to die in some very inconvenient places, and much more frequently than in vanilla WoW due to flying mounts.

VP Gear vs Raid Loot

Draztal

Regarding reputations and items, keep in mind that the gear there is not mandatory for progression into raiding (in fact, items from normal Das Herz der Angst and Terrasse des Endlosen Frühlings, which will be available very soon, are higher item level than these: 496).

All the other items are things you can get over time and the developers feel that earning good standing with a faction should involve something more than an insignificant time investment.

Varian vs Garrosh

Vaneras

Varian and Garrosh have clashed a few times already, yet every time they have been interrupted for various reasons before any real harm was done by either part. They seem fairly evenly matched - Garrosh seemingly being more about brute strength whereas Varian is the more agile one.

During the Ashenvale Offensive(the Wolfheart novel I believe), Garrosh and Varian clashed in battle. They were evenly matched in the beginning, matching each other's attacks, but Varian eventually got the advantage. Varian had been fighting with clear vigor and focus, while Garrosh was fighting in a berserker like state of mind. When Garrosh became tired, Varian was still strong and by then pressed on his attacks. He succeeded in wounding Garrosh and disarming Gorehowl.

In the Tides of War novel, Garrosh and Varian clash again, but this time Garrosh seemed to have the upper hand as he was far better at holding his ground against Varian.

I don't think I would be able to pick a clear winner, but I will look forward to read what you guys think :-)
