Hunters Getting Nice BUFFS in 2.3

So 2.3 is soon to be out and Blizzard is redoing quite a bit of buffs to most classes. Hunters get some nice ones. Say bye-bye to most of the dead zone it went from 8 yards to now 4 yards,(thats right no more scared hunters being afraid to shot you at point blank range)/evil laugh...hmm maybe I should have rolled a horde, seeing as how I'm a little evil. Let me list them:

Trueshot Aura (Marksmanship) no longer costs mana to cast and will last until cancelled.
20 and 24 slot ammo pouches and quivers will be added.
Serpent Sting, Immolation Trap and Explosive Trap gain additional damage based on ranged attack power.
Wyvern Sting will be instant cast.
Arcane Shot(ranks 6+) will dispel 1 magic effect in addition to the normal damage.
Aimed shot now reduces all healing done on the target by 50% for 10 seconds, in addition to the regularly increased damage.

and for my MAGES out there:
New Spell: Ritual of Refreshment. Creates an object that dispenses stacks of Manabiscuits, which restore 7500 health and 7200 mana over 30 seconds.
Detect Magic removed. All players may now see their target's beneficial effects at all times
Frost Ward and Fire Ward now gain additional benefit from +spell damage
Frost Ward and Fire Ward ranks 5 and 6 have had their base absorb lowered to compensate
Arcane Meditation will be increased to 10/20/30%.
Ice Barrier will receive additional benefit from +spell and +frost damage.
Ice Barrier Ranks 5 and 6 base absorb reduced to compensate.
Evocation will be changed to restore 15% mana every 2 seconds for 8 seconds.
The penalty which reduces spell damage coefficient when having the talents "Improved Fireball" or "Improved Frostbolt" will be removed.

So mages get to become the muffin man for everyone..lol
When you cast the refreshment spell its just like the Warlock spell for the soulwell, everyone has to click on the green and black floaty thing that looks like a rip in the space time continum.

I will post more about everyclass later tonight and also on some weapons and skins along with the new mounts and a possible tamable bear from the new ZA instance..

I can not wait. Mainly for the deadzone updates, and the instant Wyvern Sting, since I tend to use that a lot for emergency priest-distraction due to the added debuff afterwards once sleepy time wears off. :)
