It's actually not bad at all with the 10% 1h damage boost. You'll actually have slightly more than base damage now with that talent maxed. It's pretty close to being in line with the 2%-4% 2h boost that DKs get (granted it's 1handers, but it seems pretty close to the damage boosting talents other classes get), and you get the damage reduction from defensive stance on top of it.

I'm pretty sure that's incoming damage and not outgoing damage.  Death knight's got a similiar nerf.

No, since damage done in Def stance has always (before this) been nerfed by 10%, I'm inclined to think that's what is changing. It is ambiguously worded though.

Blizzard is reworking the stance penalty/bonuses with the arrival of DKs is how I look at it.  While we have move restrictions in each of our stances as well as penalties for switching stances and they only have bonuses-it is a very welcome change.  With warriors lacking the TPS of pally tanks and such this should hopefully bring us more in-line.

*I am not concerned with the details.*
