Appropriately, the Combo Point Change Slips In, Unnoticed

Big news for Rogues and Feral Druids!

Remember way back in Vanilla, when you started your Rogue (ok, admittedly most people playing probably did that more recently,) and you thought: "Cool! Combo points. So, like, I stab this dude, and then I hit that guy, and then I beat down this third guy for mega damage!" and then you realized that as soon as you switched targets, the combo points went away?

THEY'RE FINALLY CHANGING THAT!

Yes, Virginia, they're changing combo points so that they will now stack "on the rogue," allowing you to switch targets far, far more easily, just as we've been clamoring for over the last ten years or so.

Obviously, this means that Redirect will be going away (it solves a problem that will no longer exist.) Honestly, combining this with other stuff like Slice and Dice going passive for Assassination, Honor Among Thieves proccing off of your own auto attack crits, and Backstab being usable from a wider angle, there are a lot of reasons for Rogues to be happy.

Feral Druids should also be quite happy about this change.
