Potential Warlock changes for 3.1

"Potential," because this is both (1) incredibly vague, especially on the final two bullet points, and (2) subject to change. 

• Improved Shadow Bolt - this talent now provides a 5% spell critical strike buff (similar to Improved Scorch).  
• Improved Soul Leech - this talent now provides Replenishment (similar to shadow priests).
• Drain Soul now has a chance to produce Soul Shards even if the target doesn't die.
• Siphon Life no longer is an active ability but the talent grants the old Siphon Life effect to Corruption.
• Curse of Recklessness and Curse of Weakness have been combined into one spell.
• Consume Shadows - this Voidwalker ability is no longer channeled but has a cooldown.
• Several other warlock talents have had their ranks reduced, their effects changed or removed.  This list includes but is not limited to Demonic Empathy, Shadow Embrace, Eradication, Suppression, and Pandemic.
• Additional new talents have been added.

Personally, the last two are my favorites.  They seem to suggest that warlocks will be getting a much-needed (and long-promised) overhaul for 3.1.  At this point, any attention is better than no attention at all.

I'll respond more fully later.  I'm stuck at work on what is supposed to be a vacation day, so I suppose I'd better get to it so I can leave.  Boyfriend and I have tickets to the Lion King tonight!
