Apparently, the Druids aren't too happy with the way World of Warcraft (http://wow.qj.net/News/cid/2738)'s patch 2.4 will be affecting their Restoration-spec Arena and PvP sets (http://wow.qj.net/WoW-PTR-2-4-Patch-Update-0-4-0-7923-details-revealed/pg/49/aid/113792). We're talking specifically about the tweak that had swapped the set's outdoor movement speed buff for a 0.25 second cutdown to the Healing Touch spell's cast time.
As a result, the game's resident druids have recently formed a petition over at the WoW forums to request that Blizzard (http://wow.qj.net/tags/blizzard/76) either restore the set's old stats, or at least replace 0.25 second cutdown with a more substantial buff. The petition seems to have payed off, given that Nethaera (http://wow.qj.net/tags/nethaera/13029) dropped by the thread with this bit of good news:
Thanks for the feedback. The Restoration 4-piece Gladiator set bonus has been changed in the next PTR build. It is now the old Stormrage set-bonus, which is -.2 seconds off Regrowth. In addition, the speed bonus to Cheetah will remain on the Feral 4-piece Gladiator set bonus.
Of course, we do remind the readers that even game patch 2.4 has yet to go public. We could be in for a rather long wait. Drop by again in case the devs make any updates regarding this issue.
