No clue how credible this is, but apparently Blizzard has already let the cat out of the bag on the Taiwanese boards. I just picked it up from a site that did the translation, I'd link to it, but unfortunately they got goldselling and power levelling adds plastered across half the screen.
On Saturday, 1.10 changes for every class were revealed on the Taiwanese Official World of Warcraft Forums. There have been several threads going in an attempt to understand these changes and translate them into English. The following is a compilation of forum posts and translations of the Taiwanese forums as well as the links to the original posts. It can be assumed that the English versions of these posts are forthcoming. With the release of these upcoming changes it would seem that 1.10 will be on the test realm very soon. Tuesday perhaps?

1. Execute - Execute will work with Sweeping Strikes again. If the target of the Sweeping strikes proc has less than 20% health then they will take full execute damage. If they are above 20% they will take a normal swing of your weapon in damage.
2. Whirlwind - When used with Sweeping Strikes, it will only hit one extra person (on top of the 4 from whirlwind) This will only use up a single Sweeping Strikes Charge.
3. Flurry - Fixed a bug where all ranks of this talent were not properly being triggered.
4. Retaliation - Fixed a bug where this skill was not functioning correctly as a melee attack.
5. Intimidating Shout - When it is resisted by the main target, it will no longer apply its fear. The fear is now limited to 5 targets.
6. Flurry - The speed improvement from Flurry will only be applicable for the next 3 swings.
7. Sweeping strikes - The damage from the extra attacks generated by Sweeping Strikes will now take into consideration the armor of the target being hit with the extra attack rather than the armor of the person you are swinging at. (Ie: No more swinging at mages to do massive damage to plate wearers)

Translation:
1. Slice and Dice: If you attempt to use this skill when your target is dead, you will get an error message. This skill cannot be dodged, parried or missed.
2. Sap: When sap is resisted, Lightning Shield will not break stealth.
3. Remorseless Attacks: This talent will not trigger when you kill a monster that does not yield experience, or a player that does not yield honor points.
4. Distract: this skill will no longer trigger Lightning Shield from Shamans.
5. Blade Flurry: The damages of the extra attacks will now be determined by the armor rating of the secondary target.
6. Blind: Blind is no longer considered a melee attack, and cannot be parried or dodged.

http://forum.wowtaiwan.com.tw/twow_forums_page3.asp?topic_id=22719&forum_id=3&GoPage=1&lis=
1. Multishot - The attack power of this skill has been normalized. All ranged weapons will now use 2.8 as the standard multiplier. Weapons that are slower than 2.8 will see their damages reduced slightly, and weapons that are faster than 2.8 will see their damages increased slightly.
2. Aimed shot - (Same as above)
3. Improved Aspect of the Hawk - the duration has been increased from 8 seconds to 12 seconds. The speed improvement will not start until the second shot has landed. This was changed to fix a delay problem in the talent.
4. Hunter's Mark - (this is where I couldn't really understand what it said...something about the caster will not be listed under the mob's "threat list", and something about a debuff...)
5. Claw and Bite - pets using these skills will now gain appropriate amounts of threat depending on the rank of the skill. Previously, only rank 7 and 8 were causing the right amount of threat.
6. Beastial Wrath - will not generate any threat for the caster.
7. There will be new wild boars showing up in EPL with Rank 6 Charge.
Shaman
http://forum.wowtaiwan.com.tw/twow_forums_page3.asp?topic_id=22725&forum_id=9&GoPage=1&lis=

2. Grounding Totem - this totem will no longer absorb the following effects: Frostguard, Hammer of Titans, Annihilator, The Chief's Enforcer, The Judge's Gavel, Blacklade of Shahram, and Bonereaver's Edge.
3. Flurry - the speed bonus will only exist for the next 3 attacks.
4. Healing Wave - mana cost reduced by 9%.
5. Shamans will now be able to use equipped items in ghostwolf form.

3. Prayer of Fortitude has an increased range and area effect.
4. Holy Fire is now a non-talent trainable skill. First obtainable at level 20.

6. Shadowform: reduce physical and ranged damage. See talent trees for more info.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-special note by Moirain=-=-=-=
the translation about "heal" seem to be saying about mana/heal efficiancy increase and also that Greater heal, since cast time is lower than 3.5 seconds , no longer receives the entire +healing effect from gear. :(
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
18. Vampiric Embrace: traget resisted the damage will not have healing effect. (nothing new)

http://forum.wowtaiwan.com.tw/twow_forums_page3.asp?topic_id=22723&forum_id=12&GoPage=1&lis=

8. Seal of Command - Can now properly trigger when the paladin is silenced.
9. Improved Seal of Righteousness - Tooltip updated to reflect actual usage. This talent increases 3-15% damage for both seal of righteousness and judgment of righteousness
10. Lay on hands - range increased.
11. Divine Intervention - range increased.
12. Holy Shield - tooltip updated to reflect extra damage done.
13. All improved blessings have their ranges increased.

6. Shadowburn - No longer returns a shard if resisted or from targets that do not yield experience or honor.
7. Curse of Weakness - Mana cost reduced.
8. Curse of Recklessness - Mana cost reduced.
9. Mobs that are immune to Fear effects are now also immune to Death Coil. (Note: This does not say 'Players are able to break the effect of Death Coil with Fear Breaking Effects.' It says that mobs (NPCs) that are not fearable, will no longer be affected by Death Coil)
10. Suffering (Voidwalker) has an increased radius. The tooltip has been updated. New warlock talent calculators will be on the site soon.

10. No idea.
11. Players will no longer be immune to snares for 1 second when performing a shapeshift.
Some chaps offered corrections on the translations, reproducing them in italics.
I'm pretty sure that the Druid change says "Druids in shape-forms can now use any EQUIPED item". That's different from your translation. This means that they can use an item which has a use. It does not mean that they can use potions and weapon procs.
Ferocious Bite: cannot be parried, dodged, or resisted?
i think this means combo points will no longer be lost when it is parried, dodged, or resisted.
