But then why nerf Gust Slash...? Ah, to heck if I understand this dev team >_>
The "different rotation" might not have anything to do with Gust Slash. It doesn't have to tbh.

What the dev team probably overlooked was that fuma>katon>doton under TCJ was more potent on 1 target than using the single-target ninjutsu....but then if they nerf either katon or doton it messes with aoe potencies, so they decide to just lower a single-target move instead, lowering NIN's single-target overall potency while leaving aoe potency untouched.
