I know this sounds elitist as hell, but the nerf will have the greatest impact on Brutallus, more than any other boss. This should turn him from the Great Gear Check of TBC into...Supremus-level difficulty?
30% fewer hit points and Sunwell Radiance removed clears the two huge hurdles of the fight - the 6 minute enrage timer and the absolutely ridiculously gargantuan damage output on the tanks (25,000 in 1.5 seconds is routine). Obviously the other Sunwell fights will become easier, but Brutallus will be the boss most hit by the change since he is the boss that requires the highest gear-to-skill ratio in Sunwell. (Translation: the nerfs aren't going to make Kalecgos nearly as easy to beat for a guild stuck on him compared to a guild stuck on Brutallus, due to the complexities and organization required to handle Sathrovarr's portals and synchronization of kills.)
That said, Brutallus would not have been possible to beat with the removal of downranking and the Potion Sickness limit. Maybe guilds with full Sunwell gear and innervates to throw around, but not a guild learning the encounter.
