I'm still waiting to verify these against an official source but this is what users (not Blizz) have posted to the official forums.
Druids
- Due to various talent changes, all Druids will have all their talent points refunded.
- "Feline Swiftness" has been renamed "Feral Swiftness". The dodge % increase now also applies to Bear and Dire Bear Forms.
- "Improved Moonfire" has been reduced to 2 ranks, for a 5/10% bonus.
- "Insect Swarm" has had its damage on all ranks increased. The mana cost of ranks 1 and 3 has been increased. The mana cost of ranks 4,5 and 6 has been decreased.
- "Nurturing Instinct" now grants its benefit at all times, but the bonus has been reduced to 25/50% of Strength.
- "Improved Starfire" has been renamed to "Celestial Focus" and now also increases the chance to resist casting pushback when casting "Wrath" by 25/50/70%.
- "Blood Frenzy" benefits have merged with "Primal Fury".
- "Improved Leader of the Pack" has been reduced to 2 ranks for 2/4% total health healed.
- "Pounce" no longer requires the druid to be behind the target.
- "Barkskin" is now usable while stunned.
- Druids now need substantially less agility per dodge.
- "Dire Bear Form" armor bonus increased to 450% and health bonus changed to a 25% percent health increase instead of a flat increase.
- The Health bonus of "Bear Form" has changed to a 25% percent health increase instead of a flat increase.
- "Swipe" has had its threat bonus multiplier removed.
- "Maul" has had its threat bonus multiplier changed to a flat value similar in threat per time to "Heroic Strike".
- "Regrowth" has had its mana cost reduced by approximately 18%.
- "Tree of Life" healing bonus now increases the healing received by your party members instead of the healing dealt by your party members.
- The "Tranquility" base amount healed per second has increased by approximately 273%. The radius of effect has increased from 20 yards to 30 yards. Mana cost has increased by 40%. The Cooldown has increased from 5 minutes to 10 minutes. The Duration has decreased from 10 seconds to 8 seconds.
- "Mangle" will not stack multiple copies from multiple forms or druids anymore. This was never intended behavior. The percentage modification on bleeds has increased from 25% to 30% and "Mangle" now increases the damage from "Shred" as well. In addition, "Mangle" will now benefit from the damage boost from "Tiger's Fury".
- "Enrage" will now show up in the combat log and in floating combat text.
- "Lifebloom" will now correctly consume clearcasting.
- "Predatory Instincts" has had its tooltip adjusted to indicate it only works in feral forms, and that it increases damage by a percent, not damage bonus by a percent.
- If a spell is resisted, it will no longer break stealth.
- "Tree of Life's" bonus healing aura will now reactivate correctly when "Banish" wears off.
- Shapeshifted druids will now be able to speak to npcs while shapeshifted. (It always bugged me that we could pick plants and skin but not talk).
Bug Fixes
- The druid Restoration Talent "Tree of Life" healing buff is no longer being removed from the Druid if afflicted by a "Banish" spell.
- "Moonkin Form" and "Tree of Life" form now have a casting animation for "Warstomp".
- The druid talent skill "Tree of Life" now has a swimming animation.
- Adjusted the tooltip for Barkskin to reflect the proper functionality.
- "Insect Swarm" Rank 6 will now benefit from the clearcasting effect from "Omen of Clarity".
This priest bit affects us as well:
Priests
- "Mass Dispel" will no longer cause stealthed Rogues and prowling Druids to lose stealth.
The following item changes all affect Druids.
Items
- "Idol of Ferocity" now increases "Claw" and "Rake" damage instead of reducing energy cost.
- "Idol of Brutality" now increases "Maul" and "Swipe" damage instead of reducing rage cost.
- "Idol of Health" now provides bonus healing on "Healing Touch" instead of reducing its cast time.
- "Wushoolay's Charm of Nature" now provides haste rating instead of reducing "Healing Touch" cast time.
