Because it's now off the GCD the Shadow Flare change is actually a dps boost. It's gone from 600 potency per minute to 250, but it's also freed up 2 GCDs which you can use on Broil II so it's an 80 potency gain.

It's a slight AoE nerf but if you were refreshing shadow flare for the AoE then your party has other problems.
