Windfury Hotfix... ouch!

So apparently there was a hotfix applied today to Windfury Totem, per Nethaera on the official forums:

Windfury Totem has been fixed (for real, this time) so that instant special attacks such as Slam and Sinister Strike will not trigger its extra attacks. On next swing attacks such as Heroic Strike and Cleave will continue to trigger it.

This is a fairly substantial change to the effect, especially for rogues.

    Windfury didn't work with poisons on the weapons anyway. All this does is nerf warriors who got windfury on a mortal strike, execute, ect. Its a good thing.

    you'd put poison only on offhand and windfury would work, and be more dps than a poison on mainhand. This is a rogue nerf also.

    are you a fool? WF is a flat 20% dps increase(well not anymore, more like 18%) poisons are absolutely inferior in the mainhaind

    This is a serious blow to enhancement shammys who practically rely on stormstrike procing windfury on 2h strikes. Not that I will miss someone falling from the sky behind me and doing 7k damage in 2 seconds. hehehehe.

    This is only for Windfury Totem that I can see. I don't think it includes the weapon buff type of Windfury.

    Well, I grabbed some guildies last night and with 3 warriors a rogue and myself windfury totem was just about all I had to do :). I didnt see any real significant lowering in damage overall.

    Not as big nerf for rogues as for warriors.
