Regarding parry specifically, parry has been lowered to 15% damage reduction. I don't have the numbers on rate, however it sounds like the speculation is that Block was lowered proportionally as well.
All of the defensive abilities were lowered (parry/dodge/block). They covered that in one of the streams prior to 5.0. I believe it was in the one where they were talking about how they also removed protect, I can probably find it if you like to see that one.
