To Tal: The rumors you've mentioned are, right now, nothing more than that (rumors). As a frequent reader of Blizzard's WoW forums, I can say that all "we" know about what's going on at Blizzard's end as far as spirit is concerned is that Blizzard has acknowledged that many people think spirit is an underpowered stat and that they are "looking into" the situation.
As far as my opinion on the whole situation, I think Blizzard needs to do something to improve spirit as a stat for all classes in some way. Spirit often works its way on to all gear, even that intended for the two classes without mana. Considering almost no builds or players across all classes ever consider spirit as a primary stat, I'd say there's something wrong. It seems that spirit has no "one-to-one" value compared to the other "main stats" of any class (i.e., a mage or warlock, for example, would never trade intellect or stamina for spirit at a one-to-one ratio), barring a few exceptional builds.
