My only DPS was BRD pre-HW. At the release of HW, I heard some negative things about BRD and have put off leveling until 3.01 patch (Currently lvl 53). So my question is, how has the 3.01 patch helped BRD? Does the change from 20% to 30% increase in damage and lower casting time offset the lower potency changes made to Empyreal arrow and sidewinder? (Doesn't a 350 to 250 nerf on a 60 sec CD ability seem too much? Perhaps 300 would've been more reasonable?)

Also, do lvl 60 BRD players toggle WM on and off when CDs are up? Any insight on the changes in playstyle, WS rotations etc. would be appreciated.
