    That's true, but if you look at the changes he seems to have addressed what he posted about (except tWP).

    1. The clunkiness of WM/GB [Made them insta-cast with a CD instead of channeled]
    2. There was no clear advantage to be in WM/GB did comparable damage outside of stance [Doesn't look like they actually increased our damage they juggled the numbers around a bit so it's a punishment to not be in the stance]

    It's possible that the changes will add to DPS, but at least from what it looks like, that wasn't their intention. Looks like it is basically nerfing the numbers on abilities but buffing the stance slightly to get us where we were before but needing to utilize the stance to do so (unlike prior where you could get close to stance numbers outside of the stance).

At the same time we will be paying close attention to the balance of each skill so the damage output at level 60 does not largely increase.
    I think its pretty clear he wanted DMG to go up a little bit. It seems they wanted us to use GB/WM more. If they didn't nerf our damage a bit, with the 30% damage (which is a permanent b4b added to it) our damage would creep onto casters DPS, and we do not want or need that. Class balance!
