Funny that you should mention that, because the hotfix this week that nerfed Blood Boil by 33% could only possibly be justified as a nerf to Blood AE had the side effect of also gutting Blood ST--which was never anything special at all--and knocking about 8k dps off Unholy BiS sims for multiple-target fights. That's why I have little faith in them achieving any kind of parity before BRF, as clearly there is either ignorance [of side effects] or incompetence running wild in the group doing these hotfixes.
Personally I think Blood and Druid ST damage is about where it should be, monk and warrior are too high now, and the first paladin nerf did absolutely nothing to bring them in line. Haven't seen the results of the second one, but I am skeptical.
