Not only this AOE cleave stuff but tanks going into dungeons and tanking with a 2H because they can (which apparently "was" how it was in 1.x from what people say, except there's no information stating that and in fact are stating the opposite).
It's a bit hypocritical if you ask me. The #NoChanges crowd dogpiled and jumped on anyone who suggested things be different to accommodate the things we've learned, but somehow this underlying meta changes that popped up are fine and dandy despite being drastic changes to how things were known and expected to play out.
It's just interesting how this came up out of nowhere, and has almost universally been accepted when nearly every piece of information from private servers beforehand said no such thing, yet somehow "everyone" knows that's the way it is. Something is fishy here and I'm not sure what, but there's not only a lot of misinformation being peddled around but a change in mindset that didn't seem to exist until the day Classic launched.
