Do all classes receive similar buffs as warlocks in the expansion? Because the changes seem to wildly increase the power of a warlock (Lifetap/Darkpact changes, new talents, more +damage benefits, etc).

None of the classes have gotten such a baseline buff as the warlocks at least (base spells).
The new extras are considered quite overpowered for each and every class though.

They're in the process of benchmarking each and every class' DPS output now though and will keep on doing that till the January release date.
First victim: Paladins did much more DPS then they liked and got hit by the nerfbat.

Wonder how it all pans out in the end tbh, what the new order of DPS will become.

the lifetap buff is already in the game, i get ~1150 mana from one tap ;)
and yes all other classes gets sick aswell, the rogue can for example have a skill that gives 30% chance to avoid killingblows(passive) and another skill that removes all debuffs and gives 90% to resist spells for 5sec
i think its a marketing scam to get all players to run to the stores and buy BC, and im totally falling for it


edit: and sneek they just nerfed shammys aswell for doing to much damage, even tho you seemed to like the nerf
"go all out, i wont lose aggro"

What? Losing 4% to hit with melee while dual wielding - a talent option is a nerf?
Not when you receive built in aggro reduction :P
You bet I'm happy with that.

The real nerf is yet to come.
I guess it scared them that a Shaman in wf-autoattack spamming Stormstrike outdpses a Warrior - if given exactly the same itemization.
That'll never ever happen though, so no worries there imo!
