That's exactly what it means, yes.

awesome.

Poison and mut talent buffs put mutilate about 15-20% ahead of combat spec with comparable gear. The better of the two rogues in our raids is combat :I

I'll match that yay and raise you a wahoo. This was soooo annoying in Wintergrasp.


However, this:



Is what will be getting me to log on immediately.

About time for the Bulwark flight path too.

That makes me want to cry tears of joy. My dual-spec toons (tank/dps, melee/caster) were dreading having to grind out all the needed factions again for the enchants. It made me want to just give up and focus on less time intensive activities.

I assume you are ONLY talking about UB? Because every bit of TC I have seen has shown Unholy to be way better now. There are actually gear levels where it may surpass Blood and Frost. The 10% UB nerf seems like it was unwarranted, but you have to consider how powerful SS has become.

[EDIT]

Numbers for clarification.

The old SS was:

40% weapon damage + 317.5 * 1.3 (with all three diseases up) as magic damage.

The new SS is:

50% weapon damage + 400 as physical damage, with an additional SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT as magical damage (which is boosted by any talents boosting shadow, and is increased by EP. And I've heard that it is considered a second hit, so it can crit separately, even if the first blow doesn't. But the first blow's crit will guarantee the second, or something). This also makes ArP useful for Unholy, which brings it way back up with itemization.

UB's nerf? Not even in the ball park of that buff. 10% of an ability that did 2-4% versus buffing an ability that did pitiful DpS and making it AWESOME? I say HELLS YEAH.
