Some of the bigger points:

All Legendaries are getting a 15 item level boost to 910 in a hotfix next Tuesday (video: 5:15) to make even the least ideal legendaries more useful / competitive Elemental Shaman single target spells are getting a buff in 7.1.5 to make them more powerful, especially in PUGs. Brewmasters, while seemingly on the decline, are metrics-wise more powerful than their peers. They take damage in a way that can be more easily healed with HoTs than direct healing, which can be worrisome for healers. There are no easy solutions to improve perception among players. Trial of Valor difficulty is fine, but rewards are off. Loot will be bumped 5 item levels next week.
