The wand change maybe is something for MoP? Since monks are not getting any auto attacks then maybe they add a similar mechanic to wand classes.

It's not nerfed, they're wording changes.

I'm not wrapping my head about the 25H Morchok change properly. Wasn't it originally the tank and the closest person to the tank that took double damage from stomp? And then they changed it to how it was supposed to work. And now it's been reverted?

There will be no ranged period in MoP so prolly a bug.

Morchock change is not a change. It is just a tooltip update, the spell works like exactly that (it targets the tank and the closest to the tank, not the 2 closest to boss)

While there won't be a ranged slot in MoP, they're still planning to turn wands into MH weapons (similar to swords etc.)
