A couple of changes may seem minor, but have a huge positive impact on the playerbase.

Your horse can now swim! If you've ever had to quest in Western Plaguelands or Zangarmarsh, and have been annoyed at your mount's hydrophobia, this is welcome news indeed. All ground mounts may now swim without dismounting the rider. Flying mounts however, are still afraid of water.

Also, the most notable of the PvP changes is that players will now be able to queue for and join a battleground from anywhere in the world--no need to go to a city or the battleground entrance. When the battle is over, or if you decide to leave, the game will put you back at the spot from which you entered. It's never a bad thing to copy a good feature from another game.
