Alright, so I do not mean this to be a QQ post, but I am a bit confused here. With the implementation of LFR, I do not understand why normal and heroic DS needs to be nerfed. Currently, there are more chances to raid and see all content in WoW than ever. Between LFR, normal, and heroic raids, as well as the option to do normal and heroic as 10 or 25 man, as well as the option to extend lockouts, the main thing stopping people from killing this nowadays is player ability, not so much the time you need to invest in raiding. Now, this is the opinion of myself and many others, DS normal modes are easier than Fireland normal modes were.
Now, before anyone chimes in with "OMG you can turn the buff off if you want like in ICC", you need to understand, my main problem is with the buff being active in heroic modes. Most guilds in heroic mode content care an extent about their ranking, therefore, if any guilds use the buff, you really can't not use it. Now, if the purpose of this nerf is to allow players to see content...well, I just don't see why it is needed. No one NEEDS to see as much heroic content as possible, it is an optional difficulty level for better loot that only adds a mechanic or two. In my opinion, it does not really count. With the addition of LFR, more people than ever are getting to kill the end boss of an expansion. So the people that only care about seeing content, which is what most of the complaints about the accessibility of raiding has been about, they get to now through LFR. Which brings us to normal mode DS. Now, I suppose I can more so understand this getting nerfed, since there are people who don't consider killing Deathwing on LFR as actually experiencing the content considering the relative ease of the raid in LFR, and they might only feel like they completed the expansion if they kill Deathwing on normal. So, nerfs for normal DS, even though I think it is undertuned a bit already, make more sense. Not heroic nerfs.
Now, all these opinions of mind I will disregard if this means that MoP is coming out sooner than most people anticipate, then I can be more understanding about the nerfs, although I still think there is not reason for them to be applied to hard modes.

The Fireland dailies. I like 'em. The ones inside the portal. Not so much the ones in Hyjal. I like seeing my little hippie tree base growing. Good atmosphere. Good dailies. Good world pvp. Good job.
