Patch changes

• Patch 7.0.3 (2016-07-19): Removed. Replaced by [Aspect of the Turtle].
  
• Hotfix (2014-10-14): Resolved an issue where Deterrence modified by Glyph of Mirrored Blades was not reflecting spells back at the target.
  
• Hotfix (2013-12-11): Deterrence modified by the talent Crouching Tiger, Hidden Chimera should now correctly provide immunity to physical interrupt effects.
  
• Hotfix (2013-09-19): Deterrence should now correctly have a 5-second cooldown after using a charge for Hunters with the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Chimera talent.
  
• Patch 5.4.0 (2013-09-10): Now has a 3-minute cooldown (up from 2 minutes) but has 2 charges.

• Patch 4.3.2 (2012-01-31): Now also reduces damage taken by 30% while active.

• Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Cooldown reduced to 3 minutes, and now also increases your chance to resist spells by 60%. Now has a new spell effect.
