I'm sure I speak for many tauren druids when I say that I'm very glad you guys are addressing the taruen cat form, but I have to ask if the 2.3 changes are all that is planned for updating the druid models? Will druid models get a graphical update in WotLK like the other player models?

Edit / Suggestion:

Druid forms should have unique models and textures for each race / gender combo and the choices made during character creation, such as coloring and horn style, should further define those forms. In addition druid specific items and sets should alter the appearance of the forms to differentiate druids who have progressed into end game content.

It's a little too early to say if there will be further model updates right now. We are aware that it's a current request, however.
