Class tuning: Affliction, pets and demons, plus quest gold from level 48

The announced class tuning has landed. Wrack now speeds up Affliction DoTs instead of amplifying them, hunter pets go from an accidental 150% to 115% health and every Warlock demon gets about 15% sturdier. Most quests from level 48 up now pay gold on top. The Enhancement changes from the same list only went live on November 12.
