Ghetto hearthing has been removed from the game, at least in the current PTR build of patch 3.1 (source).
Ghetto hearthing can best be described as temporarily grouping with someone, going into an instance and then leaving the group. The effect of leaving the group is that you are hearthed (to where your hearthstone is set) [...]
I just caught a great dual spec Q&A type discussion on mm0-champion’s blue tracker (source).
Dual specs are now available at level 40!
Q u o t e:

A new Gear Manager feature has been [...]
This is horrible. The report on ESPN.com says that the 49ers and the Vikings would be interested in acquiring suspended QB Michael Vick.

A few nights ago, I set a personal best, in Heroic Utgarde Keep with 1776 dps, as a tank.
Then last night, UK was the heroic daily again! So I foundĀ a group, let them know that I [...]

This is truly awesome! The first we’ve officially heard about dual specs and positive confirmation that it will be in the next patch (3.1). All of the information is very new and will take some time to digest. Here is the Q&A source. Below is the quoted text.

Here are the gems and enchants that are relevant to tanking. This is from my limited prot pally point of view. I don’t know what gems or enchants the other tanks need but I’m sure that most are the same.
Enchants
Head
Arcanum of the Stalwart Protector revered with Argent Crusade
Shoulders
Greater Inscription of the Pinnacle exalted with Son’s [...]
The announced changes seem to be prot-pally related, for the most part (source).
Blessing of Kings – this spell is now a base ability trainable by all paladins.
Blessing of Kings being a baseline talent is AWESOME. This is something the pally community has been raving about for ages.
Exorcism – this spell now causes damage to [...]

Last night, I was a part of a 25-man OS pug. I was uber-buffed – over 5k AP and just over 36% crit. Here is a screen shot I took just before were going to attempt Sarth.
Here are some other screenies of Dessara in her prot gear, with the Red Sword of Courage and it’s [...]
I respecced back to ret tonight. I have 2 new pieces of gear to try out and am excited to be putting up huge numbers once again. I’ve decided to go back to ret since my playtime over the past week has been extremely limited and I don’t see that changing any time soon.
This is [...]
