Now that some time has passed

It is considerably more noticeable when you are tanking if you have to heal yourself at any length. What it does basically is make pummel hard to justify using. I have quite a bit of MP for a pugilist, but in a long fight I'll run low if I am using both and curing myself at all.

As for the topic I don't think we were nerfed, I think balance wise in comparison to other melee in both DD and tanking we fare better after the patch than before.

I'll agree with that, but at the same time, I rarely wind up healing myself as tank with actual cures. Second Wind, Accomplice, and front-loading aggro abilities means my healers can get to healing sooner. As for healing yourself as DD, well, sheathing your weapon solves everything.

There are certain situations where tanks need to heal themselves, but for the most part you are right. It certainly doesn't make the class broken, or any less useful. With the new faster recast on Second Wind we definitely came out ahead in that bargain as well.
