Pet Talent Specializations
Starting with Patch 5.0, pet talent trees are no more. Instead you get to choose a talent specialization for your pet. And instead of choosing individual talents as you level, each pet spec comes with a handful of talents you can use (mostly) right off the bat.
New & Changed Pet Family Abilities
In addition to new pet families with all new family abilities, some existing pet families are getting new abilities.

The hunter class sees some big changes in Mists of Pandaria, including a talent system overhaul, the removal of melee weapons, and changes to stats, glyphs, and abilities. We recommend Warcraft Hunters Union for keeping up with the latest hunter class changes.
