What I do like is that there's still one that's better than the rest (CoE with malediction), so there is a reason to bring class X over Y, and affliction warlocks can still keep a "debuffer title," but the difference between having one and not isn't so severe. It does rather throw current raid balance out the window though. Patch 3.0, if it's done before WLK, may neuter many raid forces by unstacking previously-stacked abilities.

Why would anyone expect that? At the moment imp scorch is 15% to fire and stacks with coe perfectly fine. It gets changed to 10 and suddenly has to stop stacking? They have never mentioned that they intend to change the way it stacks. In fact, if it worked like you think, it would encourage raid stacking, as people would only take best debuffer e.g. lock and not moonkin or mage. But now, with different debuffs all over the place they encourage different classes and specs in a raid. E.g. at least one mage with winter chill for debuffs, one with imp. scorch.
