I agree; however, this is not necessarily representative of D3 forum members or D3 players as a whole. In the new forum, 12664 accounts have logged on where some are Blizzard employees (do not know their number but guessing about 100) according to the json. Some read the forum but do not login.
I suspect that many want all classes to be reasonably well-balanced. I think almost everyone agrees that monks and barbs should be buffed. For overpowered classes, player’s opinions are more complex (i.e. the never nerf, only buff vs. nerfs to OP classes is sometimes needed). The question that is really contentious is the current ww/rend buff too much. The problem is that Blizzard may be looking at this differently then many players.
Here is what we know. Unless something fell through the cracks (and at this point in time I think that this is highly unlikely as Blizzard would have said something to quell the forum unrest), the Blizzard developers decided to remove the rend damage buff from lamentation based on their reasons.
