If yes, doesn't it render high hp and air units pretty much obsolete?
Pretty much the same as plague in Starcraft 1, don't forget that the Infestor is a very slow units and you can't move them in overlords either so I think 95% damage isn't too bad as it is. So if you micro your air units poorly and allow them to get diseased then yea, they are pretty useless without health. All boils down to how well you control your units I suppose.

Perhaps I have to get use to the fact that Blizzard is trying to make Bio a choice for the whole game (instead of mostly early/mid game) by making you tech up to Starport before you can finish your army.
Plus I did not like the fact that it only has 7 slots for units.
Would it help thinking that the 8th slot is for the cute medic in the drop ship? ^_^

But if I can't see her then what good is she....
I'd rather just have the dropship be the dropship and have an option to combine the dropship with a medic in a Archon kind of way. Because of the current way it is setup dropping metal is not really viable anymore because the Medivac does not heal metal. So I would rather have a merge button iif Blizzard is so intend on keeping their Medivac, giving me the choice to not make them.

The medivac has 7 slots!? I thought I saw that but assumed it couldn't be right.
There goes another argument in favour of the medivac (the "but now you can drop EIGHT marines, so even though a medivac/marine drop is identical to a marine/medic drop, it's stronger").. 
How do they deal with things like tanks then, can medivacs only carry 1?

Nyovne, do units still drop at the same rate out of dropships/shuttles? That was one thing that hurt mnm drops compared to say, reaver or tank drops. If it was faster it would mean that Ghost dropping could be much more effective.
Also, is there still a moment in which a unit can't attack after dropping like they patched in SC to keep progamers from basically firing with reavers while moving with the shuttle at high speed?

Well that's how I remember it to be, other then that I have nothing to base it on. Feel free to correct me if I remembered it wrong...

Im sure phreak said in his audio blog that Medships had 10 slots with tanks taking up 5.

Just wondered since in earlier versions they had no in combat shield regen, but of course I can't prove anything in the current.

I could be way off, but I don't think Blizzard RTS's ever have an "in combat" and "out of combat" state. Shields will always regenerate at the same rate, no? Like in SC, War3, etc.?

Disease questions... my mind just fully embraced what I've read about it here xP :
1) Is it channeled?
2) Does is spread as much as possible or is there some limit how many units/buildings can be diseased?
3) Can it spread from building to building, building to unit, etc?
edit: C&C3 Scrin Mothership's attack 'spreads' from unit/building to unit/building until when already affected ones explode... affecting another that will explode, etc, etc.
Can Disease be compared to this, except affected targets don't explode but lose 95% HP?

Well, if they want to have all units viable as they promised, a spreading and faster damaging plague(coupled with easier interface to manage casters) ain't gonna help make BCs, thors and the like viable vs zerg. A single infestor is way cheaper than any high tier unit, so even if the player spreads his units, the infestors will still be cost effective and in combat spreading your units is often not the best option.

IIRC at the SC2 announcement Blizz said that shields regen out of combat, but faster.
In wc3 there are out of combat regen items; nagas also had out of combat regen, but they cut them from the game.
