(4) Set: Increases the duration of your Divine Shield and Divine Protection by 3 seconds.

(2) Set: Your Holy Shock gains an additional 10% chance to critically strike.

The Judgement of the Wise change is in fact a change to all Replenishment effects as both Survival Hunter and Shadow Priest regen amounts were also changed. Imp. Devotion aura has again been buffed, though I'm still concerned that this healing buff will merely be eaten up by overhealing.

Art of War and Judgement of Command changes are merely tooltip clarifications.

The Change to Hammer of the Righteous effectively normalises this skill such that fast weapons (the majority of tanking weapons we've seen) are as good as slow weapons in terms of threat generated. PPM effects and Seals which scale with weapon speed or swing damage would still be detrimentally effected by fast weapons however.

The Librams, especially those obtained via the Arena, look pretty tasty. Except that is for the Judgement of Command increasing Haste, I have a feeling that the benefits may well be pretty minor.

Still no meaningful Holy changes. As the Beta still has a fair old time to run hopefully this will be addressed at some point soon.
