Eh, kind of. Feral set bonuses for bears have concentrated on Lacerate threat/damage a few times. While the wording wasn't exactly the same, it was either Lacerate does more damage or more threat (both of which basically do the same thing).
Another point to keep in mind is that some of the other classes are receiving a LOT more changes than druids. I'd have to say from a druid point of view, not too much is drastically changing since many of our changes were just baking talents/glyphs into our abilities. Warlocks, for example, are receiving a pretty hefty overhaul. Beyond just individual classes, the interactions between healers and tanks is definitely being changed (with the whole new active mitigation system and healer changes). While I haven't dabbled into all of the classes on the beta quite yet, I'm fairly certain paladins are happy they aren't getting a major overhaul like they have almost every expansion.
As you've mentioned, a large portion of the player base isn't hardcore raiding or will even care about max/min and theorycrafting. While some of us are relearning our classes on the beta, many people will not even known about all the changes until the pre-expansion patch goes live. Beyond this, Blizz never releases life-altering set bonuses in the first tier. They're always semi-bland in how they operate, because people are still learning how their classes operate with expansion changes, and people have to want to abandon their tier for the next raid tier.
