I do think they could at least offer some reassurance that the class is being worked on, though; but that's probably assumed since this is an MMO.
I'm kinda thinking it may be a resources issue. The band aid fixes are just trying to hold things over until they've actually found the time for the overhaul. Expansion has launched, raids and savage are running, now may be the time when they can finally focus on making actual improvements, supposing they intend for them by 5.1. But it also wouldn't surprise me if they continue with bad "fixes" until 6.0.
