Tom Chilton, the developer of Blizzard's World of Warcraft, has announced some of the features that patch 2.3 will hold. He posted details regarding two new items for Healers and Hunters.

Accordingly, Hunters will get the option to purchase the Vengeful Gladiator's Waraxe for 1000 Arena points. This particular item gives a character a massive 62 Stamina, 46 Crit, 33 Resilience, 15 Hit, 92 AP, and 98 Armor Penetration.

Healers, on the other hand, will be getting a new cloak that grants 34 Stamina, 15 Intelligence, 16 Spell Crit, 23 Resilience and a good +51 to Healing and +17 to Spell Damage.

Players will probably be surprised that a healing cloak will be released in this patch since it has never been done since the Arena first went live. Chilton explained the reasons for this on the official World of Warcraft forums:

Early on we had a philosophy that we wouldn't put tanking gear or full sets of healing gear on the PvP vendors since at the time there were concerns that players would feel like it was advantageous to PvP in order to get gear to beat raid content.

Turns out that philosophy mostly sucked (although we're holding onto the no-tanking gear part of it), so we fully itemize for healing in PvP gear now and rely on resilience to make it pvp-specific enough that it won't be considered ultimate raid gear.
