The reason there is *so much* wailing and gnashing of teeth is not because the changes aren't finely tuned, but because plenty of them are so amazingly stupid.

Life tap gets worse for warlocks the better they are geared? Restoration Druids (the lowest single target throughput healer) get their throughput reduced? These changes make NO SENSE AT ALL. If the changes were comprehensible but overshot the mark, or needed tuning, I could see a constructive dialogue occuring. When they are entirely laughable, and (eg druid lifebloom nerf) go without any form of response for weeks, then it's impossible. You cannot get a constructive dialogue by making nonsense changes and then refusing to communicate.
