I'v come to the realisation that most of the people that played before shb and want better class gameplay have migrated to wow because that seems to be the last bastion of more interesting design.
This same has happened to swtor and is happening in GW2 atm btw so these changes are by design and are aimed at shi77ers and raiders who think they should be able to pick up a new job in 1 minute and can flex to any job so that some cry baby doesn't need to actually learn anything.
Good class design died in sb and it will prolly never come back.
Also everything they announced in DT looks interesting but we have seen how half baked some of the stuff they do can be. So before we get to see actual meat on the bones of the product i would take everything they say with a load of salt.
I firmly stand by the belief that most players don't really care either way. As long as things aren't punishing, most players will be pretty content with pretty much whatever. Adding in a higher frequency of generally weaker damage taken in normal content and expanding on DPS tools within a reasonable margin will probably have no effect on the vast majority of players.
