Ok, here's what I've got from my notes:

Time Manipulation fun fact- swirl direction changes depending on if you are buffing or debuffing someone. Clockwise=Buff Counterclockwise=DeBuff

Titan Weapons-
-Available to Scrappers, Tanks, and Brutes (sorry, not for stalkers, then again kind of hard to be sneaky with a giant a$$ hammer)
-Essentially allows 1 power to do 2 things (with momentum or without momentum)
-Goes off of a momentum system.
-No momentum, slow attacks, if you have momentum you have shorter animations and more AoE goodness.
-So far Hammer and Sword, potential for Axe as well.

Dark Control- Sorry, no tentacles people
Move list:
Shadowy Binds- DoT/Imob
Dark Grasp- Mod Dmg/Hold
Living Shadows- Wide Cone/Dot/Imob
Posses- Confuse (with glowing eye goodness)
Fearsome Stare- Cone/Terror
Heart of Darkness- PBAoE/DoT/Disorient
Haunt- Summons Shades Dmg/Fear/Taunt (to the shades). Essentially, the shades will go out and attack the mob in question, casting taunt and fear on them while attacking them. If the mob dies, they will move on to another (like gangwar, we can't control where they go) to attack. They ARE killable, and somewhat squishy.
Shadow Field- Ranged AoE/Hold
Tier 9- TBA

It looked really interesting, with all the dreary, inky effects.

Staff Melee- Scrapper, Brute, Tank, Stalker
Power Staff Mastery- much like Swap Ammo, in where you can pick from three styles
Mind = gives boost to recharge
Body= Gives boost to Damage
Soul= Gives end discount
Perfection is built thru attacks, and there are two attacks that will either build or spend it.
Eye of the Storm and Sky Splitter.
Staff will have a longer range than most melee classes.

Addition:
Dark Assault for Dominators

Two new darkness powers (I believe for controllers in the prestige pool? Was hard to hear)
Soul Absorption- Regen+ after defeating enemies (for whole group
Fade- Targeted, like a mini MoG for others.

Stalker changes have already been mentioned, so won't bring them up again

Video Examples!:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJOc4bkfeIw for staff fighting.

Sorry, nothing to find on Darkness!
And as they stated in the panel,
ALL OF THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE DURING BETA

Someone earlier in the thread mentioned that dark miasma was being ported to controllers, with fearsome stare and petrifying gaze replaced by two new powers so the set wouldn't have to much control in it. I would guess the last powers mentioned by firemoth (soul absorption/fade) are the replacement for FS/PG in the controller version of dark miasma.

Then again, having them there makes it easy to skip a power...

Really? I thought it was terrible. Doesn't it have a long animation and low base duration?
