I did the math for my neglected lvl 70 lock.
This is how it breaks down:
Current lifetap cost: 1185 health
Current lifetap gain: 1335 mana
New lifetap cost: 1378 health
New life tap gain: 1128 mana
That is a 14% decrease in mana gain for a 15% increase in damage received. Basically that runs down to a 29% decrease in overall casting sustainment. As one of the primary damage dealers in a group that puts a huge amount of slack for the rest of the party to handle. The tank will be fighting longer. The healer healing more. This is no joke of a nerf. Warlocks will be drinking more than hunters in instances now.
