Legendary Rings - Names, but Procs are Not Final

The Legendary rings have been datamined, though Blizzard has said that the current description of the procs is not final. At the moment, all of the rings have a very interesting mechanic, which causes the power of the rings to be tossed around like a hot potato between each of the people with the same kind of ring.

Still, those procs are probably not going to be final, as I could imagine there being some frustrating issues with that (for one thing, even if the damage would even out over time, you'd have one player doing a whole lot more damage when they got the proc.

However, whatever the procs wind up being, we do have the names:

Tank: Sanctus, Sigil of the Unbroken
Strength DPS: Thorasus, the Stone Heart of Draenor
Agility DPS: Maalus, the Blood Drinker
Intellect DPS: Nithramus, the All-Seer
Healing: Etheralus, the Eternal Reward

The final part of the legendary chain will apparently involve two Naval Missions (something we still know very little about) to retrieve a Soaked Ogre Decoder and a Pearl of Farahlon. Additionally, you'll need to collect twelve "Tomes of Chaos" from Hellfire Citadel. Given the small number, I fear we might get back to a all-or-nothing droprate like we had in Mists, but on the other hand, if they want these rings to be available early in the tier, we might simply have to beat the first twelve bosses (or, more likely, something like the first wing two or three times and the second wing once or twice.)

We don't know what kind of visual aura these will create, though they did say (admittedly a long time ago) that there would be one in the vein of the "wings" created by the legendary cloak from Pandaria.
