Fear Ward is baseline for every Priest, in the Holy tab.

Devouring Plague is a normal Shadow spell now, Rank 3 on a Night Elf.

Elune's Grace changed: 5 min cooldown, 50% chance to be missed by melee and ranged for 15 sec or until missed 3 times.

No Shadow Word: Death by 38; the talent tooltips mention it, so it is probably trained later. The demo was capped at 38.
