Proof that Valve loves Woodstock. 
The regen rate change is EPIC. So is the part about spies and medic bubbles.
And oh, the crit blut thing, not a big deal. It did glitch sometimes and crit anyways.
Did I say I was happy???.....

About the Heavy
I love the idea of the tossable sandvich. Chuck out a sandvich, run over it, instant health.
About the Medic
I like the blutsauger change, but I'm a little back and forth about it. The medic is pretty powerful, and now he gets crits.... ehhhhhh :glare:

Realize that the medic isn't as powerful as most other classes as combat, crits or no crits, and was very non-played as there are very few people who can be a medic and be able to use him in combat effectively. Of course, seasoned combat medics are going to love this update, but it's not like you're overpowering the medic, who will still most likely lose to most classes, if he's up against a similar skill opponent.

The health drain bothers me muchly. There was no need to change the weapon, and the health it gave for hits saved me more then once.

I tested the Sandvitch out earlier on an empty server. I think it may be a *tad* overpowered honestly. When I play heavy and usually pack a shotgun but now there's no way you'll see me without the Sandvitch. It now heals for 100% health (if you eat via taunt/mouse 1) or 50% if you simply drop it and pick it back up.
Spawn camping heavies at Black Mesa don't even need to have a medic at this rate. They can do their damage, run away and mouse 2 eat the sandvitch and get 150HP right away. That's the same as a medium health kit. I know the Sandvitch was meant to make the Heavy less medic-dependent but this teeters on making him a fortress by himself. Though throwing the sandvitch is a huge credit to the team and to his medic.
The Medic regen update is actually pretty welcome to me. It makes the medic much more durable when he uses the needlegun. The "change' to the Blutsauger is only a change in wording, there is no change to how you would have played the class anyway. You still gain the same amount of health per second and still get +3 on hits, but now you can random crit. I'd like to see a change with the bonesaw though. Maybe a health or speed bonus. The Ubersaw does look mighty heavy =D
