patch 2.0.10 notes on the PTR

[TheDragoon]

Could it be that there is going to be definitive, epic Druid tanking gear in the future? Would that help with the problems the nerf caused?

This has been the only reason I can come up with for the nerf to mitigation. Currently, bears were still behind warriors in mitigation but have no epic gear (outside of the arena stuff) to upgrade to, for the most part.

However, this certainly doesn't explain the threat nerf as fixing the itemization problems would tend to trade some threat for mitigation (currently gear has a lot more strength or AP than it needs and not nearly enough stamina or armor, for the most part) which would exacerbate the problem. :(
