Patch 3.3 is live and has been since December 8. My thoughts on when it would it were pretty much on target. This patch brought so many changes. Not only was the LFG tool introduced but a raid weekly change- no more daily heroics here- they are all in the LFG tool, the emblem changes, and new content. It's been a whirlwind, complete with Winter Veil occurring in the middle.
If I had to pick the single biggest impact on the game that was introduced- it would be the LFG tool. All you need is time, and lots of patience. You can run heroics non-stop now if you like.
Icecrown Citadel – a staggered released instance- has proved to be fun. There is some challenge in there. New bosses can provide that, and it is a bit of a check for the listening impaired. It's not the face roll that ToC25 was. I don't really see a lot of nerfs anytime soon there either. I was surprised with the changes that they slid in on Lord Marrowgar. I do expect the achievements to be a pain in the butt – but I think they are designed that way because they want to give you something else to work on. Lady Deathwhisper is strategic on dps placement. The Gunship is probably the best fight in the game, in my opinion – it's just fun. Deathbringer Saurfang – he is such a combination of fights I remember. This one is strictly clean execution and positioning. The next wing in ICC is due out January 5. Three bosses, and not a lot is out there on the last one. It will be an adventure.
