Actually, according to EJ, the situation is even worse. After hit and expertise caps, all 3 secondary stats have the same stat weight. Even worse, with the mastery change, CS, TV, Exo, And HoW all have the same rotation priority.

So in an effort to make Ret more difficult, they gave us unnecessarily complex mechanics that lead to overly low DPS. When they realized that, they give us a change that turns our rotation into "hit whatever's off CD" and a gearing scheme that is now "use the highest ilvl piece available."

They wanted the skill cap and the skill floor to be very far apart after Wrath. As of 4.0.6, the two will be closer than they have ever been.
