Appropriate name. While there are some nerfs, there are also buffs. Mainly the nerfs are for bosses with unfair luck based mechanics, or group composition requirements.

For example, Altairus needed a nerf, because if you were unlucky, clipping one whirlwind would juggle you out of the boss area and kill you instantly. If you were really unlucky, said whirlwind would spawn on you at the start of the fight. If you have a crappy computer, you can't clearly see what way the wind is blowing. Luck based mechanics and punishing folks for having crappy rigs is not the way to go.

There are plenty of boss buffs too, Blizzard are rebalancing things so it's not such a massive jump from easy to hard to easy again.

Here's what GC said, there's good stuff in there http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/2053469

Also, "Bliz have pandered to all the qq from the noobs" makes you sound foolish.
