Yeah, boomkins are not seeing the "nerfbat" the way people are anticipating. I said this to someone yesterday, when you look at one change and fail to think how the pieces fall together, it can give a false impression.
Starfall currently does damage to each individual in range + additional aoe damage to those around a target being hit. It was adjusted to remove that additional aoe component but range was greatly increased. Current talents in balance allow for repeated moonfire spam doing 135% damage + 90% mana reduction as long as you keep moving. Add in the fact that you get an additional 40% damage if you're in an eclipse (lunar or solar since moonfire will morph into sunfire). Instant cast roots (without a cd - but still subject to DR)...
If anything I see more of a nerf to resto with the lifebloom nerf, ToL change, and focus going to less mobility.
