Of course the changes we got are still nice in terms of general playability/making WHM more pleasant, but they're not changes that change WHM's standing.
WHM's are already the best DPS of any healer. Why would bumps to Stone and Aero be justified? . . . Their aggro was the biggest problem (other than the lily system) and it's now fixed. Lilies will require a redesign.
