This patch is live today. I'm downloading it right now.
It is 6.0.01.30. This is big enough to be a patch on its own.
-All classes changed enough that everyone gets a water of death
-New solo/group instance with randomly generated quests and presumably good level design with a lot of verticality.
-Party finder for most things. It is a new tab in the battlegrounds window where you can queue for astral, etc.
In the 6.01 cycle they will also add a new battleground

The new instance is great.
Quests are interesting, it gets very hectic, the place is HUUUGE with great level design with many levels. In so many places falling off an edge is a big deal, it can mean failure. And free mercs if you go solo, but it's less rewarding.
