Official PTR patch notes have been updated, here is the list of new additions:

messages when interacting with Spellsteal or while the Druid is under

50/100% of your Agility, and increases healing done to you by 10/20%
while in Cat form.

no longer reduces the mana cost of Blink. Instead, it increases the
chance for all attacks to miss the Mage by 25% for 2/4 sec after Blink
is cast.
- Icy Veins no longer stacks with Bloodlust, Heroism, or Power Infusion.
- Mana Shield: This spell will now get a percentage of the Mage’s bonus to spell damage as an additional effect.

- Rockbiter Weapon: Tooltip and error messages have been adjusted slightly.
- Shamanistic Rage is now a Physical ability instead of a Magic
spell, and thus is no longer dispellable. It now reduces all damage
taken by 30% and gives your successful melee attacks a chance to
regenerate mana equal to 30% of your attack power. This lasts for 15
seconds with a 2 minute cooldown.

percentage of maximum health to cast, and grants the same fixed
percentage of maximum mana: Rank 1 is 5%, Rank 2 is 12%, and Rank 3 is
20%.
PvP
Arenas
- Matchmaking: If a queued
player has a personal rating higher than their team rating, the
matchmaking system will now use the highest personal rating of a queued
member of that team for matchmaking purposes, instead of the team
rating. In addition, when making a calculation for rating gains and
losses at the end of a match, the calculation will use the higher of
the personal or team ratings on the opposing team.
- The benefits of drinking out of combat have been delayed while
in the Arena. It will now take four seconds before the full benefit of
the mana regeneration will come into effect.
Battlegrounds

battleground runes will no longer cause Stealth or Prowl to break.

spawn in the Heroic version of the instance. The placement of creatures
around Durnholde Keep in Heroic mode is now identical to that of Normal

Felmyst disabled on PTR
To allow players on the PTR to
test the encounters after Felymyst, we've decided to disable Felmyst on
the PTR. When Felmyst is engaged, she will now kill herself and allow
raids to continue on to the encounters afterwards.
As a reminder, Kalecgos and Brutallus are also still disabled at this time. (src)
