Looks like they are prepping for 2.4 on the test realm shortly… there’s been a flurry of blue posts with some actual 2.4 info. Big news of the day? The removal of diminishing returns from honor kills:

“We’ve reached a point where we’re now confident that applying diminishing returns to honor is no longer necessary, and we’re currently planning to remove it with the 2.4 patch.

With this change we’re including a few restrictions as well though: Players that have the resurrection sickness debuff will not be worth any honor, and if a player dies 50 times or more during a battleground they won’t be worth any honor for the remainder of that battle.” -Vaneck

It’s about time. Anything to relieve the honor grind is a welcome sight.

Also, some of the class changes that have been leaked by blue have PvP ramifications: priests will now be able to use Fear Ward while in Shadowform and shaman will get some Earth Shield relief as the Healing Grace talent will now grant 10/20/30% dispel resists.

More info to come as they release the full patch notes.
