Forgive me if this has been posted somewhere else in here but I saw a link to some of the datamined items from MoP and....*CHoKE* I thought they were going to compress gear stats?

75-80% increase in stats??? So much for stat compression, unless they've yet to complete that pass on the items.

I was under the impression that the increase between Cataclysm and MoP was going to be much less than previous bumps, and in addition all stats were being reduced to be nicer on computing things on the servers.
