DUNGEONS AND INSTANCES

CRAFTING
* We have created new recipes for the pre-Expert upgrades of the crafted equipment in Nightmare Tide!
 - These recipes will still take an Amender and the base components from the previous tier of equipment, but will save you the trouble of having to craft the base item and then upgrade it via the UI.
* Trinkets can now be crafted by the following professions: Weaponsmith, Armorsmith, Apothecary, Runecrafter, Outfitter & Artificer!
* Crafted armor, weapons and jewelry can now be upgraded to Expert Epic and Expert Epic 1.5 equivalent power levels.
* Fixed a bug when linking a crafting recipe rafting that sometimes displayed the wrong recipe.


ITEMS
* The Ancient Glacial Shards proc found on offhands in Mt. Sharax now affects a spherical area around the target instead of a line from the caster to the target.
* The Icezerker proc has been re-designed. It now works as follows:
 - When you critically hit, you transform into an Icezerker! While transformed, your next 5 attacks within 12 seconds will deal 4,200 additional damage.
 - This affects one additional attack for each Nightmare Tide raid weapon you have equipped.
 - This effect cannot occur more often than once every 30 seconds.
 - Now only affects Single-Target damaging abilities.
 - This change affects Shij Ir, the Gatherer of Shadows, Fist of Threngar, Ekor Ira, Hand of Threngar and Draum Ra, the Rising Shadow.
* Fixed a bug that caused the following procs on Nightmare Tide raid trinkets to be incorrectly affected by talents, buffs, and debuffs:
 - Rending Shield
 - Symphonic Hymn
 - Embrace
 - Icy Wrath
*Curate's, Monk's, Conjurer’s, and Elder's Fathomstones will no longer lose or retain the same crit rating after being upgraded.
* Fixed an issue with Healer trinkets from raids that caused their tooltips to report lower absorb values than they actually provided.
* Mass Soul Mend now:
 - More accurately hits all nearby players in your party or raid.
 - Can no longer hit players with whom the user is not grouped.
 - Affects dead players as well as living ones.
 - Has had its tooltip updated to indicate that it also affects party members, even if the user is not in a raid group.
* The Dreamsource Greater Essence has been re-designed. It now works as follows:
 - Your Critical Hits have a chance to transform you into a Nightmarish Fiend.
 - When you transform, your next 7 damaging Single-Target abilities deal an additional 1701 Ethereal damage.
 - If an additional Nightmare Tide Greater Essence is equipped, the number of affected abilities is increased by 3.
