3.3 Dungeon System Preview
In the upcoming 3.3 content patch the current
Looking For Group
system is getting a much needed overhaul with many new features and even some rewards (such as a pet) too!
There are some great features planned, such as the ability to join as a group or go solo, Cross-realm instances, and the ability to be teleported to the instances similiar to how it is done in battlegrounds currently. One of the features that looks really promising is the daily random dungeons, which will pick a random dungeon (heroic or normal) and if you defeat the final boss you will receive either 2
Emblem of Frost
on heroic mode or 2
Emblem of Triumph
on normal mode.
More on the dungeon system after the jump.

Elder Clearwater will be waiting for one hour in Dalaran for the first person to bring the shark to him. You will be rewarded for the trouble if you do.

Oct 22 #BlizzChat Developer Chat Transcript
It looks like the
#BlizzChat
on Twitter is complete!
Tom Chilton and J. Allen Brack answered about 38 questions over a one hour period. I must admit I was hoping for a bit more in the way of exclusive or new info, but it's still a good primer for people who want info about the upcoming content. More interesting to me was the actual questions that were asked. It's a very interesting cross-section of the WoW community.
The forum thread with the questions and answers is here:

Tier 10 Armor Sets in 3D!
Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to present to you the full listing of all Tier 10 gear (as far as we know, shamans are still missing) in 3D!
We've been diligently working on our
model viewer
, making upgrades and finding new models to post! Please remember that you can view these both in Flash and in Java, in case there are texture errors in one viewer or the other. Also, don't forget to use the dropdowns to view them on different races and genders!
Please bear mind that these are not final. Blizzard is still working on these, and they may change before the final version goes live.
The official sets and the alternate color schemes are all included after the break! Be sure and
leave your feedback
in the comments, so Blizzard knows what you think!

Mage, Rogue, Warlock Tier 10 Previews Added to Official Site
Hey everyone! I'm Togikagi, a news reporter for ZAM. I post WoW news on our site, and (just like
fewyn
) Malgayne has been kind enough to let me participate in the Wowhead blog to help provide constant World of Warcraft coverage. For my first post, let's take a look at the upcoming Tier 10 sets.
A couple weeks ago, Blizzard
released
previews of the new Tier 10 models for Death Knights, Druids, Hunters, and Warriors that will be available in patch 3.3. Sneak peeks of the Mage, Rogue and Warlock sets were just added to the
preview page
today, so be sure to check it out to view high-res images of the new armor.
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/underdev/3p3/tier10sneak.html
So what do you think of the sets? The Rogue helm is certainly...interesting. It kind of looks like the model wasn't able to avoid a headshot from a Hunter.

A Word About Spoilers
So as the release of 3.3 gets closer and closer, blue poster
Ancilorn
has taken a moment to talk to us about spoilers.
In light of this, I wanted to post our general policy on spoilers.
While we know there are people out there who want to be spoiled, there are also people out there who don't—myself, for instance, and Miyari. We
do
post spoilers on the site sometimes, but we also try and tag them as clearly as we possibly can. If you ever encounter a spoiler that we've posted that is not CLEARLY marked as such, please contact us at feedback@wowhead.com so it can be fixed immediately.
