Patch 3.0.8 Death Knight Changes

The new WoW Patch 3.0.8 had many different changes in it. I am going to list the best ones I think that were added/changed.

1. The 15 badge sigil was changed from haste to crit. Which IMO is great. I got this peice tonight and am much happier, since haste doesn't do a whole lot for a DK.

2. The darkmoon card Undeath! They have changed this trinket from haste to crit also. Woot woot.

3. Horn of Winter now does not consume runic power, and generates 10.

4. The new Death knight tanking enchant from the runeforge. +25 Defense and + 2% total stam.

There are many others but here are the changes to glyphs for dk's.

Glyph of Death Grip - When you deal a killing blow that grants honor or experience, the cooldown of your Death Grip is refreshed. (Old - Increases the cooldown of Death
