We had some really good contributions in the thread covering
unannounced 5.1 changes
, so starting this one up for users to point out 5.2 changes missing from the patch notes.
For example: Tons of weapons were changed from Main Hand to One Hand, which is a big deal for transmog but isn't listed under the transmog section of the
patch notes

Stormwind has some new theme music.
I wondered why I was hearing a different tune playing.
I don't know any other hidden gems, because I was just trying to level in Stranglehorn Vale last night, and the drop rate was driving me bonkers.
Cheers.

I think that might be a change also, because I too was in STV last night and I would find one quest item per 20 kills (maybe not literally but it sure felt like it). The drop rate of everything was abysmal.

They have reported that the drop rate bug has been fixed with the rolling restarts. I'll find out tonight.
Cheers.

Indeed. I noticed that the change had been made to Venerable Dal'Rend's Sacred Charge; I didn't know that other items were affected too.

BTW: If this is still happening and you can get the 'Becoming a Pirate' quest, note that there are no mobs drops required in the entire Pirate chain. That's what I did last night.
Sorry for being a bit off topic. If only you had PMs.
EDIT: Actually, I do have an announced change. I noticed it a lot last night. When your health bar is full, there's a little white bit on the end of it that sort of glows. It's great for knowing whether you, or your Pet, is at full health, or just slightly below it.
Cheers.

i have noticed on my holy pala that seems to be my mastery (illuminated healing) and have been putting it down to that is how much 'absorb' i have left, as it grows as my absorbs get bigger
Interesting. I was playing my Warlock, and my toon and Pet both had it. It was useful for knowing when Heath Funnel would actually do anything.
Cheers.

Yeah, the glow at the end of health bars is for shield absorbs. It is very noticeable in raids with a disc priest.
Small changes I noticed.
BMAH - The starting cost of the Argent Tourny pets is now 1k gold. Before it was 10k, which is silly since they barely sell for 1k on the normal AH. There are also now only 5 brawler guild invites on the BMAH.. no big dea, but I noticed it.

I noticed this after the 5.2 patch. When you open up your map, your location (represented by an arrow like shape) is now highlighted by a animated target. Helps you locate your location quicker. Seems small but helpful.

Yes, it's the same animation as when you ping the minimap with a right click, I just noticed it as well.
Also, the ingame calendar filters include the Darkmoon Faire now.

Elegon has a new yell for when the floor drops. I only do LFR though so I don't know if it was already there on normal/heroic.

Why not use

?

I think they did something to the Arcane Reforger too. I went to reforge some gear and it would only let me turn strength into spirit, and it wouldn't let me move haste/crit to expertise and hit. Later it did allow me and then even later it did not.
And though this may not be the place, why did they get rid of the ability to upgrade items?

Warlocks can no longer run on water with Felsteed and Dreadsteed in pvp areas. The new tooltip on the dreadsteed for example says
"Summons a Dreadsteed, which serves as a mount. This mount can run across water in non-battleground areas."
