Reposting here for conversation’s sake; I have an original post in the bug report forum for more “official” correspondence:
Go to the original post for detailed info. But man, is this gunna suck if it doesn’t get fixed.

This was in the original game during DS and makes no sense to nerf or fix when everyone who hits their rend button benefits from refresh ticks when hitting MS. And no it does not delay overpower TfB procs.

If this is not fixed for firelands release expect to see a lot of rerolles from warrior and the death of prot. All 3 players.
We lose more dps then we gain from a whole heroic rag weapon… 1400 to 1600 single target… I can’t even list the aoe loss for prot coz it’s none existent with this change…
This is not a goof it’s a whole deathblow taking a mid dps 4th lowest melee behind 2 dks and rogue and placing them down to like 6th melee mind you fury the only other warrior spec is lower then even that…

We now bring no buffs, no main spec, no offspec, no unique thing that a other class can’t do a lot more and easier of. Warrior is only rally with this change and rally is bum when other class’s have dps off specs and raid cds…

These are the fixes you get when they don’t even know how their own game works. Guess we should all be BDKs or fire mages

Its a tone def change when you have casters doing 2-3k higher dps with a leggo this phase

Compensatory buffs will be “we buffed mage/rogue/dk to make up for the warrior being worse” /sarcasm
I already quit retail wow due to mismanagement of my favorite class.
And, I pay a month to month sub for a reason.
But reverting the change should be easy…so maybe I hold some kernel of hope, idk. We have multitudes of evidence that this was an oversight, despite some QA guy saying “nope this is what we want.”
Warrior was never going to top charts in Cata, but I was fine with where we were at. Buffs to Prot & Fury would have been nice. Instead, we get the opposite. Bravo.

The nerf makes 0 sense and they are accidently hurting prots damage also with the change. Its quite a blow to arms damage over a long fight.

Gotta love an arguably very mid spec catching strays and the prot warrior side effect is just pure 
.
Guess warrior isn’t allowed to have a single spec that is decent.

Some back and forth between suggests they did this change on purpose for a reason, we have a bug post up, but the behavior from retail T13 the current patch in cata classic shows rend working the way it was prior to the change.

this was fixed within a day, but feral druids are still nerfed from day 1 of cataclysm launch? LOL
Prots been dead for a long time. They don’t care so we rerolled. Don’t expect it to get fixed ever.
