Patch changes

• Patch 5.0.4 (28 August 2012): Redesigned. 
  
• Patch 4.1.0 (26-Apr-2011): Savage Defense has been redesigned slightly. Instead of a single charge absorption, it now places an absorption effect on the druid absorbing up to 35% of the druid's attack power (modified by mastery, if applicable) in damage and lasting 10 seconds. There are no longer any charges on the effect. 
  
• Patch 3.2.0 (04-Aug-2009): The animation for gaining this buff will no longer make the bear stand upright. 
  
• Patch 3.1.0 (14-Apr-2009): Trainable at level 40 with Dire Bear Form as a prerequisite. When the druid deals a melee critical strike, it gains a physical damage shield equal to 25% of its attack power. The next hit completely consumes the shield, regardless of how much damage was done. Only active in Bear Form.
