I almost feel that this is a direct nerf to shamans on purpose. To do good dps you need a warlock/dk/druid in your group and that completely ruins the synergy of a 5 shaman MBer. It troubles me that they don't care about the coefficient on LB will not scale well late into lich king.
What puppychow said. Also, this isn't a nerf to boxers even if that was their reason for nerfing. With a warlock/druid in the group or with a mage/lock/druid group, that would be fixed. Of course, that's in relation to PvE, but still.

I do think it's a shame that they put the coeff nerf in 3.0. I could live with 5 levels of lower dps once WotLK is out, because most classes are balanced with the top-level in mind, but it's a damn shame that we'll be effectively broken until wotlk comes out - it would be more professional to wait with the coeff nerf until wotlk is released but hey, it's only a month.
