These changes are coming on the test/preview shard tonight.
Control Wizard
Arcane Singularity now properly takes the caster's Intelligence attribute into account.

Chilling Cloud: The secondary targets of this power are now properly considered as hit by an At-Will instead of an Encounter for power and proc calculations.
Chilling Cloud: The visual effect on the third hit of this power now more properly represents its area of effect.

Maelstrom of Chaos: This power can no longer affect targets through walls or doors.
Masterful Arcane Theft: The tooltip of this power has been updated with a more accurate description.

Feat: Alacrity: This feat no longer sometimes appears as though it's applied even when the player does not have the feat.
Feat: Focused Wizardry: This feat now properly applies to all relevant powers.
Feat: Lightning Teleport: This effect is no longer rarely able to trigger multiple times off the same action.

(At-Wills weren't affected by Evocation, as far as I could tell, when I tested it the other day.)
Also interested to see if the new patch will fix the bug with Chilling Cloud that produces near infinite damage when it's combined with Chilling Presence. And the bug with Chilling Cloud and Eye of the Storm. While we're on the subject of Chilling Cloud's glitchiness, is it supposed to proc Elemental Empowerment? I'm guessing the following note is a no:
"Chilling Cloud: The secondary targets of this power are now properly considered as hit by an At-Will instead of an Encounter for power and proc calculations."
Lots of questions. Seems like my decision to spec into Severe Reaction will become a mistake; it seemed a little too good to be true (or too good based on the feat description, which makes Severe Reaction sound absolutely terrible), but I just assumed it was procing on every tick of damage. If it can only proc on a bona-fide attack, then the feat probably won't proc, on average, before the CW dies.
Glad I slacked off on my testing, in any case.
