Here are all of the raid buffs that will be in play come Cataclysm. With the exception of a couple level 80+ skills, most are available as of patch 4.0.1.
For the full, up-to-date debuff guide, see Raid Buffs and Debuffs.
A few things to keep in mind when stacking raid buffs:
- As always, the buffs in each category do not stack.
- Buffs have been normalized so that each buff in a category is the same (this applies to everything but the spell power and spell pushback buffs).
- Different types of hunter pets now provide different buffs and debuffs

Windsoar has also made a list of buffs and debuffs sorted by the class that provides them. Take a look over at Jaded Alt.
I’m also making my spreadsheet available if you want to download it. It might be easier to work with since you can sort by class, type, spec, etc. Download the Excel spreadsheet here.






I pretty much adore you for this.
One thing, though, the haste buff for hunters you linked was to Ferocious Inspiration, not Hunting Party. Amazing job here, though. Thank you for this!
Yay!
Thanks for pointing that out. My eyes were starting to go a little fuzzy by the time I finished this. fixed.
This is awesome, totally bookmarking it. One addition – I believe the hunter exotic pet Shale Spider (not implemented yet) will give the same buff as Kings/Mark of the Wild.
Thanks, I completely missed that one. I've added it.
This is an excellent resource, but it might be worth noting that a Holy Paladin's Aura Mastery will temporarily double any affect granted by a aura (100% Pushback Protection and silence immunity, 260 Spell Resistance, 20704 armor… and 40% mounted speed, I suppose) for six seconds when used. I only mention this since you have another cooldown listed, although the maximum haste buff is much more sought after.
Then again, they are the only class that brings this.
Amazingly handy! Thank you!
Thanks, I've added a note about Aura Mastery to each of the auras.
There was a handy flowchart at petopia, copied into the bottom of the following post:

That is very handy, thanks for linking it.
