PTR for DK FROST 8.2 breath buff or nerf?

2 or 3 weeks ago the breath consumed 18 points of runic power and had a 50% increased probability of activating runic potentiation, today the breath consumes 16 runic power points and at the beginning and at the end of the breath we have 2 runes (4 in total), then? We lost 50% increased probability of activating runica potentiation?
my doubt is because before in the topic of the talent said that there was a 50% chance to activate the runic empowerment but today it does not tell us that, it only tells us that at the beginning and at the end of the breath we have 2 runes (4 in total )

I believe it is a buff once you also consider the changes to Frost disease which increases the runic power you gain over time.
The breath change means you don’t have such a huge start up time for setting it up, and you’re not left completely empty at the end of it.

I would like to see DK frost be non-reliant on CDs.
That way they have a burst spec (unholy), and a sustained damage spec (Frost).

there is already a modality of dk frost for sustained damage, and it will be enhanced in 8.2 (that modality is crazy if you know how to use it well)

Cool. I look forward to seeing the change. I like CD reliant specs but I also like having more options too.

in fact, the sustained damage work totally for the pvp although also for the pve, but it is much more useful for the pvp,
the breath CD is very difficult to use in pvp because we are DK and we do not have mobility, the enemy has to stun us and run away for 5 seconds and our CD to the trash!
The sustained damage is better because our attacks during a whole duel or pve will be quite strong
But my question is if we really lost 50% chance to activate the runic potentiation during the breath?

It’s a slight buff. The changes were more about increasing apm/reducing downtime than they were buffing/nerfing, though.

Where can I find a updated list for our 8.2 changes? Im having trouble staying up-to-date.
