To 3.2 I agree with, but we are at fault for the 3.1 change which boosted Wrath to 30%. There were many complaints that the Solar portion of Eclipse wasn't strong enough, and since nerfing Lunar was out of the question, Solar was buffed as the only logical choice. In that respects, we are at fault.

The 3.2 change to allow us to alternate Eclipse procs, though, was the largest change we'd ever seen and was what solidly placed Eclipse as being one of, if not the, single most overpowered talent in the game. The massive amount of DPS that Eclipse accounts for is absurd, and to that end, I do agree that I don't think we ever - at least not of any serious note - made suggestions to support that change. By that point I think most people were already on the 'nerf/destroy Eclipse' wagon.

And, of course, the 3.3 change was an expected icing on the cake.
