Hi everyone. Will copy/paste what I threw in the comments section at WoWhead:
As of 5.3 it seems, this spell is cast on you when you phase into the Goblin Mine in Southern Barrens. The mine used to be a regular walk-in area to do the quests. Now it gives you a light ring as if you're crossing zones and gives you the buff. It doesn't seem like anything inside the mine itself has changed - just that you can complete the quests and kill the workers without much issue since you'll always be able to use abilities without a rage cost as a Warrior.
--------------
I had discovered this while doing the post-Bael'dun quests in the Barrens to my surprise. Again it's probably due to the new battlegrounds or things in Northern Barrens but as to why it appears in a mine at the end of the Southern Barrens is beyond me.
At first I filed a bug report but then saw the buff so figured it was legit. At worst, while in a sense perhaps against the spirit of Ironman, it will make getting into (and moreso out of) that mine for the couple quests a bit easier. By the time any Iron is questing there, the exp isn't a ton but a little could help cross to someone's next level. Since mobs go grey, it's not like someone could sit there forever; but again, having done the Barrens far over a dozen times now, it's a surprising and unexpected change.
Speaking of Barrens, I got dropped in the 50s (my Hordie main that I started for a guild friend) by Level 90 flame dog core hound guys. They are seemingly all around a trench in one of the outposts in Northern Barrens so if you're leveling some teens or such out there, do be careful!
