Besides turning Magtheridon into the next Onyxia by giving him a 20-slot bag drop, it's been reported that he's also been hit with the nerf bat (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=5575817756&sid=1). Only one Infernal spawns per Channeler (down from 2), Mind Exhaustion's timer has been reduced by 60 sec so you only need 1 team of clickers, and phase 3 starts when Mags hits 50% health instead of 30%. So the fight has become more about tanking and healing, and less about doing a cube dance of death.
The biggest news to hit people in the T5 range is that Void Reaver has lost his Loot Reaver status (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html;jsessionid=2B99C43F2054DDBD3C26E293438 20C75?topicId=5539825944&sid=1&pageNo=1). Basically he no longer targets the recipients of Orbs or even turns towards them, so it's pretty easy to have one sneak up on you if you're not visually aware of what's going on. Along those same lines, some orbs are apparently invisible and VR doesn't seem restricted to only firing one at a time.
Also in TK, Kael seems to be bugged in Phases 4 and 5 (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=5539775861&sid=1). What used to be the hardest part of the fight has become ridiculous in nature with limited-to-no MC's, Pyroblasts, Phoenixes, and Gravity Lapses. So once that happens, there's not much else to do other than tank and spank. Add to that the ease of getting to Kael now (only need to clear some trash) and every healer at this level should be sporting the T5 chest pretty soon.
Supremus of BT fame has decided that his hit box needed to be bigger (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=5539826103&sid=1). He also reserves the right to one-shot anyone in melee range, whether you have the most hp or not. The Kool-Aid man brings it with a vengeance.
Reliquary of Souls joined the list of potentially bugged with his/her/its refusal to cast Deaden (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=5540056267&sid=1) and only limited Rune Shields. This means the main tank's job is a bit easier and the Locks' dogs get a break. The downside is if there's no Deaden to reflect, there's no additional spell damage debuff on the Essence of Desire. Your dps is going to have even more of a race on their hands with the current situation. Use your Heroism/Bloodlust well, my friends.
