When Blizzard refused to bow to QQ, then it was often because they knew the problems would eventually fix themselves (as they sometimes do). Sometimes Blizzard could forsee that changes to one class would also effects another classes relative performance.
However, around the time of WotLK Beta, my image of the "wise Blizzard crew" slowly begang to melt away amonst the vast number of glaring imbalances.
Now with 4.06, these feeling have reached a tipping point. I actually honestly believe that the "smart" part of the WoW community knows better what is good for the game than the designers themselves. It feels almost like the crew managing this game now is less experienced, foresighting and "wise" than the crew was 4 years ago.
Do you still have faith in Blizzard, that they know better than everyone else, what is good for their game? (I realize that it is open for debate, what might be considered "good" for WoW)
