BluetrackerThe "Secret Chat Log"
Update: The entire chat log is published in the comments below.
Anyways, there's a chat log that spills some info about new spells and abilities from the Burning Crusade. It's going around pretty much everywhere, so it's not that hard to find. And if it's true, then the guy is in deep trouble for leaking it. Blizzard will most definetly track him down and do something that's considerably worse than slapping his wrists. Maybe something involving punishment of father's employment at Blizzard.
I know I hate posting rumors, but here it is anyways...far too long to post in its entirity, so I just picked the juicy parts regarding Paladins. Also, make notice that...interesting enough, Savior's Blessing - our tank blessing, is conspicuously absent:
Kinda feel a bit sad comparing these things versus what Mages get...according to the chat logs they got Water Elemental, Slow and Invisibility.

[22:48] : paladins get some weird stuffOkay, that doesn't sound good...
[[22:48] : 10% of all healing done to them by other people is given to them as manaThat's..odd. Spell or talent? Who would heal a Paladin anyway...?
[[22:48] : I would assume to help tanking...alright, I concede. Sounds like good stuff.
[[22:48] : blessing of spell warding, makes the target immune to magical attacks but they're silencedSounds a bit like a reverse-Banish. White melee damage for the lose...
[[22:49] : crusader aura, increases mounted speed of all party members within 40 yards by 20%Yawn... Next.
[[22:50] : seal of blood, all the paladin attacks do an additional 30% weapon damage as holy damage, but paladin loses 10% health of the total damage inflictedProbably the unique spell that only the Blood Knights will get.
[[22:51] : and Avenging Wrath, which is pretty much just DeathwishGrats, Retnoobs!

For people who isnt spending the same amount of time on forums as yourself, could you give a fewexamples of links to the "Secret Chat Log"? =)
Some of that is pretty cool.
The mounted speed thing is neat, but... eh. Limited use. Cool for getting places, and rushing the flag in WSG.
I hope, hope hope that Seal of Blood isn't just for BE's... if so, I will be PISSED.
30% of weapon damage as Holy damage... so it SCALES WITH GEAR. If Alliance Pallies don't get this, or get something stupid that heals allies or something lame like that... GRR. What the heck. Anyway, this is kinda a rip from Diablo II's Sacrifice, which is a great ability anyway.
For example: I use the Herald of Woe. Assuming that it's just adding damage based on the damage the weapon does, that's
59.7- 100 holy damage on top, which isn't even as good as SoR with a little +spelldamage.
But if it's TOTAL damage dealt... that's practically imbalanced. Ok, maybe not.
Say I have 946 AP (which I do).
I deal roughly 140 DPS with autoattack.
I will deal an additional 42.3 DPS with Seal of Blood... pretty sexy, but not exactly on par with SoC, considering the value of burst damage in PvP.
However, coupled with the idea of that "paladin regain mana equal to 10% of healing cast at them", this could put out some decent holy damage (for righteous fury), since the loss of Hps will mean more healing is necessary. It both prompts people to heal them even more, which gives them even MORE mana.
I deal about +120 holy damage with JotC and SoR with my HoWoe, which is only 31.5 holy DPS. Could "Seal of Blood" be our new tanking seal?
!!!!
Interesting. Links, puhlease!

its not over yet, even if this is true, we still would have 4 more spells/talents yet.
1. Taunt buff
2. Spell Ward
3. Cursader Aura
4. Seal of Blood
5. Avenging Wrath
6. MP+ thingo
Keep in mind that the Pally info was only skill upgrades. The mage info was the only class to include all the talent info. So expect much more good stuff when we see the actual talents!
That said, some of the skills sound "interesting". I can definitely see some pretty unique raid encounters with some unique rolls for Paladins to play.
out of curiosity could you maybe interveiw him again and find out the warlock talent tree :P i would love you forever :)
Appearantly the stuff came from here. Here's the Warlock stuff (page 7 on the link above):
