Doesn't Invis mean that instead of designing UI elements for the various VGA resolutions they'll design one for like 1280x768 or whatever and then scale that image up and down?
We live in a society where people born on third base constantly try to steal second, yet we expect people born with two strikes against them to hit a homerun on the first pitch.

That's not what I read :/
Images scaled by the graphics card look just fine. The WoW UI looks crisp at pretty much any scale. Invis was, I believe, referring to the scaling that happens if you have a native X by Y LCD monitor and hand it W by Z resolution input. (which tends to look muddy)

I half read it so you're probably right!

From what I remember in WAR tanks also had multiple options for pushing people around and making them sorry if they tried to do certain things. Being able to actually stand between the enemy and your ally/base/flag/whatever was a pretty big deal.
Yep exactly, some tanks had abilities such that friendlies in a small area behind them get increased protection or resistance to spells, etc. As you say they can also chose someone to 'protect' and gain extra benefits if their enemies try to ignore the tank and kill the person they're protecting.
Whilst far from perfect pvp in WAR was certainly very dynamic, they did an excellent job at involving every class and spec, in fact for me it was the most enjoyable and strategic pvp i've engaged in in an MMO thus far.

I also remember something like the orc tank class had some knock downs or something?
