But they're all still better items than they were before.

That's your opinion. Most of these items were interesting before precisely because they were high spirit. Now they fall into a sea of many similar nice, balanced blue items. They might see wider appeal, but now they are no longer of special interest.
I only want one "balanced" item per slot. I also want special purpose items.
Trindlehaven? Nerf, no longer has 30 intellect. Have to see about the Argent Crusader. My plan was to have it with +22 int, and Dancing Silver with +20 spirit. Use Argent Crusader at the start of a fight, swap to Dancing Silver (or Will of Arlokk if that will drop) once the extra int is used.
So call it an item buff if you wish -- it is still a spirit item nerf.
