Indeed. I've seen two pre-patch downloads thus far, so I figured it might be coming "sooner" rather than "later".
I agree, though, that I would rather have a "good" patch than a "bad" one (aka rolling restarts, hotfixes, etc.)
As a paladin, having my blessings doubled in length is what I'm looking forward to the most. I'm -hoping- that the nerf bat misses and that the buff bat crits WoW for 98674651295.
