It's been shown before why it is so. It has nothing to do with the changes, it has to do with the set bonuses on tier gear.
With 4p t7, Glyph of Life Tap and no Improved Soul Leech outdpses specs with ISL.
With both t8 bonuses, Glyph of Immolate + Glyph of Incinerate + ISL outdpses specs without ISL and with Glyph of Life Tap.
ISL and Glyph of Life Tap don't mix, since that would give you more mana than you could use.
Specs with ISL tap less often, not because of Replenishment, but because of the mana gained from the original effect of ISL (the 2% bit of the talent description).
