Yes. For a newbie SCH, WD is getting buffed since the baseline is going up. For SCHs that would always use it with Rouse (because why wouldn't you?), this is effectively a nerf, although not having a cast time is nice.
Succor isn't 3s and Aspected Helios is also that.
Overall it looks like these were fairly well thought out changes. I don't expect the sky to fall on WHM.
