Yay new information!!!! The new fifth profession is the Guardian. According to the GW2 sight "Guardians have developed three virtues that empower them in combat. By wielding Justice, the guardian's attacks can burn his enemies. With Courage, the guardian can shrug off even a mighty blow. Through Resolve, the guardian passively regenerates health, allowing him to wade into the most dangerous situation and come out alive."
Some of the abilities a guardian will have at their command are:
Spirit Weapons—The guardian can summon spirit weapons to fight at his side for a limited time. Spirit weapons cannot be attacked by enemies and can be commanded to inflict a powerful attack before disappearing. For example, Hammer of Wisdom can be summoned to fight alongside a guardian, then commanded to knock down an enemy and vanish.
Symbols—The guardian places symbols on the ground, where they inflict damage to enemies or deliver a benefit to allies. Symbols persist for a few seconds and then go away. For instance, Symbol of Faith is a hammer attack that leaves a transient symbol on the ground, giving allies the Vigor boon.
Wards—A ward is a marked area on the ground that stops enemies from passing through while allowing allies to move freely. For example, a staff-wielding guardian can create a Line of Warding in front of him that keeps enemies from reaching the allies behind him.
Aegis—Guardians are adept in the use of Aegis, a removable boon that blocks the next attack. Guardians have access to this boon through the virtue of Courage.
As always you can find more information at http://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/professions/guardian/. This seems like the every healers dream class - "you mean I can help my allies and cause serious pain at the same time!!" I personally was wondering how they were going to please the people who LIKE to play healers when they were taking that out of the game

got your information fix of the month did you? :p it's a profession to consider, I doubt I'll make a decision until the game is nearly released, if not once I get into the character creation and see which one looks the flashiest!
