I believe they had changed in either 1.3 or one of the recent snapshots that breaking long grass with a sword would not longer use durability, so I thought I'd test it out as well as every other block I thought might be relevant.
I made this test video to see which blocks when broken with a sword/pick/bow will remove durability from that item. Originally I was just testing a couple things but figured I'd test more, then figured might as well record it.
I test things like, long grass, spider webs, saplings, fire, etc.

This test was performed in the 12w36a snapshot.
