Classes

• Demon Hunters are starting at Level 98 right now.
• Death Knights will continue to start at Level 55.
• Demon Hunters will have a short transform, with inner demon visuals.
• Only Demon Hunters will be able to use glaives.
• Double jump won't be disabled anywhere.
• Survival Hunters will get a Harpoon ability that allows them to throw a spear to pull mobs towards them.
• Most specs are getting overhauled, tweaking them to fit the fantasy of the spec. Some will be renamed.
• Some specs will use a renamed resource, such as Insanity for Shadow Priest.
• The sewer class hall for Rogues looks great, not really like a sewer at all. It will have treasure chests.
• The Moonkin model will be updated.
• No new major glyphs will be added.
• No Gnome hunters yet, maybe when it makes sense to add them.

Professions

• There will be a "single system" to upgrade profession items. The current item will be destroyed, giving you a reagent needed for the upgrade (Obliterium).
• A new team will be working on professions this time, including profession quest lines.
• Professions will get some crafting items from dungeon loot.
• Professions won't have daily cooldowns.
• Prospecting could make a return.

Transmog / Items / Stats

• If the new transmog system is account wide, the item must be usable by the class trying to use it.
• No tabard tab is currently planned, but the new transmog system should help to clear up some space.
• Multistrike is being removed and other secondary stats will have changes as well.
• Players can still only equip three profession crafted items.
• There won't be specific item art for each race and class, as Artifact weapon art is the priority.

Misc

• Dungeons will absolutely be relevant again.
• Illidan is ready to lead Demon Hunters against the Burning Legion.
• The Park in Stormwind won't be repaired yet.
• There are plans for Jaina.
• The backpack might be updated.
• Warlords was not a filler expansion and built some things that will be used going forward.

Sounds like there’s been a misunderstanding somewhere here. Our current plan is that Moonkin Form will indeed receive a high-res model update in Legion.
