I can confirm that overnight, they hotfixed Azmodan so that you don't get experience during the Tower portion of the turn-in, which about halves the normal experience one would get from the run.
In addition, I learned about another 4-player group technique that boosted the experience return from around 88k per run to around 400k exp per run. That's probably the key reason why Blizzard took this step, because the tower turn-in part was a key part of this technique. However, I won't bore you with the details, because Blizzard hot-fixed it.
Spending a couple of days leveling back is a pretty harsh penalty. In addition, the biggest thing is that you lose all of your best gear and gems. Remember, D3 is about gear, not your level.
