Well I didn’t get to go, but at least WoW Insider is on the job!
Here’s a pretty good class descussion article. It’s short and sure to be missing details, but does help to lend some insight.

1. Ghostcrawler is actually Greg Street a Lead Game Designer (hmm… might have to rethink some of the “conspiracy theories”)

BTW - Anyone have background on this guy?  I think it’s the same Greg Street from Age of Empires but not entirely sure.

2. Hunter Specifc Thoughts

3:49PM GC: “Freezing shot is a way to remote deploy a trap quickly and allows you to get along with a pull.”
3:48PM They want to / have cleaned up the shot rotation a bit with hunters. Make things easier and less reliant on mods.
3:47PM Hunter pet system overhauled because it was [b]“clumsy for new players.”[/b] Laughter.
- Greg Street aka Ghostcrawler

3. Direction is to focus on playability not class it seems

4:05PM GC: “Bring the player, not the class.” Lots of applause.- Greg Street aka Ghostcrawler

4.  Duel Specs are coming

4:10PM “If you like to tank on the weekends and PvP on the weekdays this is exactly the kind of thing that will be able to do that.”
4:09PM Not meant to be used in an arena.
4:09PM Respec in the middle of the raid!
4:09PM “Dual specs are coming - more flexibility.” Everyone cheers. Including me.- Greg Street aka Ghostcrawler

5. A hint at Chilton’s philosophy on class mechanics.

Chilton: “Mechanics of the spell have the potential to be fun… but any ability in the game that does a lot of damage suddenly becomes fun. We [don't want that].”- Tom Chilton aka Kalgan

Read more but I think you get the jist…
