Had there been any talk of Lurker Below being fixed for his spout issues and his other bugs?

Oh wow. I didn't notice this before - this is the 3% additional crit Meta yes? Was this on PTR? Is this the best meta now for DPS Casters over the Spirit Shard one?

Fixed? They made it awesome--each wave now spawns immediately after the death of the current one. No more standing around waiting for the next wave to spawn. You can just plow through the event quickly now.
