Update:
Exactly as I predicted, these numbers are in reference to the first level versions. The tooltips have been updated to their level 85 equivalents which largely mean no changes whatsoever for max level.
I will not put them up here, as it would take a bit of scrolling to get my synopsis, but Blizz has just reported a new Beta build (which I will devote another post to when I have tested it out) which basically hacked EVERYONE'S damage down by a huge amount. Everyone's direct damage, that is.
I will be hard to tell, but here are the Feral notes thus far: * Mangle (Cat Form) now deals 184% normal damage, down from 360%.
* Mangle (Bear Form) now deals 95% normal damage, down from 230%.
* Bear Form now increases Stamina by 10%, down from 25%.
* Survival Instincts now reduces damage taken by 50%, down from 60%. Cooldown changed to 3 min, down from 5 min.
* Shred now deals 267% damage, down from 350%. Additional damage reduced by 25%, from 1156 to 882.
* Savage Defense now reduces damage from the next physical attack that strikes you by 35% of your attack power, down from 65%.
* Swipe now deals 232% weapon damage, down from 335%.
* Ravage (Cat Form) now deals 505% damage, down from 850%. Additional damage reduced by 40%, from 2809 to 1669.
* Ravage! (Stampede) now deals 505% damage, down from 850%. Additional damage reduced by 8%, from 1817 to 1669.
* Claw now deals 77% of normal damage, down from 155%.
The interesting thing to note here is that these are all in reference to another blue post which suggested that this build had changed the way that all abilities are scaling with level now, and get stronger as you level up.
This is LIKELY to be a holdover from those changes. The damage components listed here seem entirely too low to be level 85 numbers, but we shall see once the patch gets deployed... but I think that these are the initial numbers for when these abilities are first learned, and the "down from X" is what the numbers will be at 85.

On an unrelated note, the older ban-hammers from the old forums didn't carry over to the new forums, so you can post on the new forums now. :)

Oh man... okay, I just figured out that one of the default settings had changed for Blogspot (thanks google). Anyway, the comments weren't "working" but I was getting emails.
I'll try and make a post later today; been SO busy lately at work, but Thanksgiving week should prove a little less hectic even though I only get Thursday and Friday off.
Lissanna, two things: 1) holy shit, you read my blog; 2) thanks for that, I checked it out and I indeed have posting privileges again (though I'm not holding my breath just yet on whether the bans won't be transferred to the new system just yet).

Tradrelina, (I wish I could edit my own stupid comment) yeah, Guntir and I have been playing minecraft a bit; the game is pretty horribly addicting. Lately, I have been playing nothing but Left4Dead since it finally came out for Mac at the end of October.
I can still hear the Hunter screams as I drop 25s on people.
