It is definitely a mixed bag.
1) As long as removing the animation/animation lock means they are removing the 3 sec (or w/e) delay associated with JAs its great/amazing/everything i wanted for xmas. If it is just the animation, but we still have the 3 sec delay where we wont auto attack, i could care less, but others are assumping its the first, so fingers crossed.
2) Not really sure what this means for the mage frames, h2h was already blunt, so i assume they mean they will be treated as if they are using a 1h club or a 2h staff for purposes of weapon skill calculations.
3) Acc is a complete joke as it stands now, but i will wait to see how it plays out. On trash we out level, our pets will now have 99% acc, but on relevant content, unless the new food adds +300 acc (or we get those new high end attachments they promised with massive + acc) we cant even get to the current cap of 95% with our pets. It seems silly to raise their cap to 99% when we cant hit that with full food, gear, and attachments.

I don't think it's had many modern day uses, but H2H and blunt are actually two different characterizations. Some mobs were weaker/stronger to one than the other. The most recent example I can remember was Yorcia Skirmish. Some mobs took 2x damage to club/staff while H2H did normal damage.
