Seems that one of the Beta testers on the upcoming Dragonborn DLC for Skyrim, has leaked an absolute ocean of information on to the net.
The Beta tester has leaked pretty much everything about the game. Obviously, this has to be treated as a rumour at the moment, but all the information seems to be pretty legit. So, on reading this please beware that it probably does contain some (a lot) of spoilers.
The leak includes, new shouts, new locations and enemies, new weapons and armour, and the new achievement list.
Here’s everything that has been leaked. (May contain spoilers, if true).

New Shouts:

Dragon Aspect – creates the dragon armor from trailer and gives stronger shouts, stronger melee attacks and summon Ancient Dragonborn to fight with you when you get low on health. Can only be used once per day.
Battle Fury – like Elemental Fury but for NPCs
Start of the DLC:
Cultists of Miraak are searching for the false dragonborn (you), and when they find you they attempt to kill you. Assuming you kill them first, you find a note on them that tells you what they are doing and where they came from. You find their boat docked at Windhelm and proceed to Solstheim.
You don’t have to complete the main quest to start the DLC, but the character of Miraak has different dialogue if you have already killed Alduin.
The size of Solstheim is about equal to the reach and has its own seperate map.
Player is about 30+ hours in and not finished yet, though said one could probably rush through the main quest in 10 hours.

New Creatures & Baddies:
Werebears – no word on whether the player can become one yet, but all have been hostile so far. They transform into the bear after being near them a short time.
The Morag Tong – They seem to act more like Silver Hand encounters where you fight against them a bit and have random encounters of them. No ability to join with them so far. Hostile Dunmer in Morag Tong armor.
Serpent-like creature – Player won’t describe this excactly, though says one is pictured in the trailer and won’t give its exact name either.
Lurkers – Extremely tough and frustrating enemies with plenty of health and dish out a lot of damage. Good challenge. About the size of giants and they are creatures that have ‘slipped’ into Tamriel from H. Mora’s realm.
Ash Spawn – officially mentioned and pictured in Bethesda’s releases.
Rieklings – officially mentioned and pictured in Bethesda’s releases.
New Dragon types encountered.
New Dwemer automation – a walking dwarven ballista.
New Weapons & Armor:
Deathbrand Armor – similar to stalhrim
Two Unique Scimitars you can get by the end of the quests
Bonemold Armor – Officially mentioned by Bethesda (heavy armor)
Chitin Armor – Officially mentioned by Bethesda (possibly a light armor)
Stalhrim Weapons and armor – Again, officially mentioned (many of these you can glimpse in the trailer and screenshots)
Carved Nordic Armor & Weapons – a heavy armor
Spears – I know there are some waiting for info on spears, but Bad News: Only the Reiklings have used them so far and if the player picks them up, they go into inventory as arrows.
Morag Tong Armor – another light armor you can get off of attackers.
New Thieves Guild Armor – though said to just be a non-buggy Linwe’s Armor.
Robes – Telvanni Robes and Miraak’s Robes
New Spells/Enchantments:
Poison Rune
Whirlwind Cloak
Ash Shell – lets you encase enemies in ash (paralyze) or slow them down with damage.
Waterwalking – back in enchantment and potion form
A new Ring that allows resurrected creatures to explode into frost and fire damage.
Staff Enchanting
New Active Effect – from H. Mora’s realm you can find a book that lets you choose from three active effects: Mora’s Mercy, Mora’s Wrath and Mora’s Agony. You can return to the realm and choose a new effect if you want to replace it (sounds like a similar thing to the effect Parthurnax gives you, or the one you receive for the Nightengale quest) There are five books total, with three options per book, you can get five effects in all supposedly.
New Summoning power – player doesn’t want to spoil what it is, but says it’s cool.
Summon Spells – 3 mentioned:Ash Guardian, Ash Spawn, Seeker.
‘Dragonborn’ will be available on 4 December for 1800MSP, on XBL.
