Introduced in 2.1

"Barkskin" now reduces all damage taken, with its duration reduced to 12 seconds and cooldown reduced to 1 minute. The tooltip has been adjusted to indicate this ability can be used while frozen, incapacitated, or cowering in fear. That functionality was already present, but not listed in the tooltip.

That would mean it also reduces spell damage. Great buff to use against shadow priests, locks and mages, specially for the first two since they can fear.
