These are decent changes. It’s not nearly enough to change the meta aside from maybe seeing frost mages on ladder

You should apply the 30% mana regen nerf to PvE Holy Paladins too - they have far too much mana longevity compared to every other healer in raids, which contributes to them being overrepresented at the expense of other specs.

seeing frostmage on ladder actually immediately changes the meta considering what the top specs currently are

At least they’re consistently updating the class fixes. Even if these are not the holy grail, I prefer small fixes often than drastic changes once every couple months.
