If you spam your heals with your dps macro, the blade barrier change might benefit you in that damage is a little more consistent, even though it's a huge nerf in the grand scheme of things. All of the talented cooldowns got changed to 2 minutes, so if you worked around alternating them with IF every 30 seconds or so that's out. I'm not sure how the damage changes help/hurt boxers though. Diseases being more mandatory hurts if you don't have a 100% hit rate, as that's more attention required.
