I have heard that monks have the ability to learn certain techniques/abilities from mobs.  I have seen warriors do it (warriors with AE Cold Dmg Abilities etc) which they tell me they did it during a battle.  Does anyone know of these abilities?  if so, where do we fight to get them?

I think this idea is only partially in the works.  I know from my Ranger when you use Blades of Winter twice in a row you "learn" Chilled as a new combo.  Its not something that you use (aka not a click ability).  That is the only class so far I've seen anything close to "learning from mobs" so far.

I also heard that abilities can be learned from critters (as well as spells) though when I heard this in beta it was "something to add after launch"

I think the patch from Tuesday(0206/07) night removed the 'learning' ability thing. I am sure it is something that will be detailed more fully once they finalize it. Before the patch, my group mates were learning my Fists of Ice ability, so it was not just critters.

Spies of Saruman!  *ugh*  No wonder people are preferring solo play if monkly secrets are being stolen.

The Disciple has something like it as well, on mine after I performed Blessed Wind, then Cyclone Kick and then Void Hand I learned Endowment of Life which when those 3 are performed in that order heals me (could be defensive target I'm not sure as I always keep myself as the defensive target) for about 95 at level 4.

This has nothing to do with learning abilities from mobs. The disciple has many hidden chains.

Non-monks learning fists of ice from mobs was addressed in one of the recent patches. I think the best way to think about learned abilities is it gives you a chance to learn an ability for your class before your trainer has it available, or at the very least sometimes may save you a trip to your trainer.
