Onyxia blatantly DID Deep Breath more due to an unrelated code change (bug). At the time we killed her every few days and she would DB 0-3 times per encounter.
After this patch in question (it's aeons ago) she did TWENTY THREE (23) Deep Breaths that encounter and the forum was flooded with tales of 15-20 DBs. At 23 we still had the most ever I think! :P
Anyway, Blizzard confirmed it and fixed it.

So you and everyone else who loves to drop this quote needs a new analogy.

Having killed her yet again on Saturday (5-17), we got exactly 3 deep breaths before stage 3 kicked in. We have 2 people with any frame of reference to "before" or "after" Onyxia nerfs so we can't say if the fight is different than before. We can say that 3 deep breaths which take out people who don't run fast enough is more than enough deep breaths for us.
What we did notice was the stinkin' fear. Our last encounter with her, fear was about once every minute or so. I swear, and I'll have to look at the video to confirm, I'm thinking there was fear every 5 seconds or less. Vent comments of "Jeezus, not again" were very prevalent.
Still, it didn't help her. She died, we danced and are looking at killing her again in June.
Loved the hogger reference. "Brilliant!"
