I agree completely. Hunters in PvP tend to target squishies anyway. This makes wanders a little stronger in PvP (due to the timer fix)... but I was under the impression that a OOM caster was a dead caster anyway.
And this was a horrible test. If you could stack a test more against the hunter, I'd love to hear how. That mages out-damage (insert physical damage class here) against high armor mobs is not exactly groundbreaking news. Now they just do without mana as well.
I'd like to see some more and better testing of this. Particularly against end-game raid level monsters. I doubt this has an impact on caster DPS over the long haul... except for maybe holy priests? But I would like to see some comparisons.
