User Interface
Players will now be able to access the "Looking For Group Channel" by joining the "Looking For Group/Looking for More" tool.
Using abilities and casting spells that cannot be used while mounted will now auto-dismount players as needed. This can be disabled by turning off the auto-dismount option in the UI options.
Spells that have reagent costs will show the number of uses left in the lower right corner of the action icon, just like consumable items on the action bar.
Holding down the shift key while mousing over an equippable item that you can use will now show you the tooltip for the item you currently have equipped in that slot as well (much like how the auction house currently works).

You can socket items while in flight.

The area of interest while on a flight path is farther along the path instead of in front of you.
Your current target will now display all of the duration based spells that you have cast on them with cooldown rings so you will know how much longer they will last. Very useful for warlock damage over time spells and druid healing over time spells as well as many others.

A Main tank and Main assist window have been added to the raid UI that can be pulled out into the gamefield. These windows automatically show the main tank/main assist's target by default.
Profession UI now has a search field. Text that is entered into the search field searches against item names, reagent names and item levels (if you include a level). For instance you can type "Peace" into the search field to see all of your recipes that use Peacebloom, or type in "20-30" to see all of you level 20-30 recipes. This search field only appears once you have more than 75 skill in your profession.

Party members will no longer see a hunter who is feigning death as actually dead.
Shamans are now a darker blue in the raid UI so they have a more distinct color.
Items that have additional armor on them higher than standard for an item of that quality and level will have the armor value displayed in green.
Gems are now searchable in the Auction House under the heading of "Gem" with the gems then broken up by color so you can search for all gems of a specific color.
When items are being put up for sale on the Auction House, if the item you are putting up for bid is the same item and quanity as the previous item you put up for bid, it will automatically fill in the price and buyout for you with your previous price.
The 'Status Bar Text' option in the interface options UI will now display numberic values for all party members health/mana bars in addition to your own.
Raid and Battleground chat options have been added to the chat button that is attached to the chat log.
