At least your chosen class is still effective, even if they DID do those stealth-seeing changes <_<
I'm incredibly pissed at Blizzard for doing this. Not because it affects me (I'm a Warrior - any people crying about skills not being worth crap don't know what they're talking about :P ), but because it's representative of a change in the way Blizzard is handling their paying customers.
I've been a Blizzard fanboy since WarCraft: Orcs and Humans, and I've played every single game they've released since then, and all of them have been great games. They've all had issues (except StarCraft, which is - beyond even a shadow of a doubt - the most perfect game ever created); rampant hacking and duping in Diablo, less-rampant hacking and duping in D2 (even on their hyped Realms), hero-rushing in War3, and boredom in War2. WoW is the first time, as far as I can recall, that they've ever released a game when it wasn't complete. If you think WoW is complete, you're an idiot. Blizzard was too busy with the idea of raking in the cash to take the time and properly analyze the "extensive" in-house testing and Beta-stage testing.
Yes, my opinion is highly biased against them. Why? We, the Warriors, are the most gimped class in the game (we're the most gear-dependant in the game, and our skills aren't worth #$%& compared to other classes' skills), and we'll never get a change to the core problems of our class (which vary from person to person - just try stomaching the Warrior boards) because we're Rob Pardo's bastard child, and he thinks we're perfect the way we are.
Actually, though, I have a better solution to all of these problems - reverse the patch changes and completely, utterly remove Maraudon from the game, permanently. Before Maraudon showed up, The Shatterer and Phantom Blade were GOOD weapons for the level. Now we can get Thrash Blade in our later forties without having to farm elementals for essences, so why the hell should we bother? And that's not touching the slew of overpowered items that come from that instance.
