I may have missed a stealth 'fix' in the update notes, but Weapon spell procs and aug spell procs are doing less DMG. I think this is caused by Spell DMG not working on them anymore, but I am unsure. Before Spell DMG was working on them, because the Crits would go up as you increased your Spell DMG total, similar to how spells increase.

I rarely parse group mobs, I was actually parsing back in May to test whether or not certain things proced before others which is why I have those. Then I logged in today to see my Disease Weapon proc doing a lot lower DMG, I believe before the patch it was doing over 4300 DMG per crit, I gained Spell DMG since May. In May I was not using my Venom aug I am now, It is also proccing lower then it was on raids before this patch.
Truly hope this was not a nerf, just a bug.
Sadly not a bug, seems to be an intentional nerf, all 2 hander based damage proc's have had their damage reduced by around 150 damage per a proc.
Do you have a specific example of which spells or items were changed? I would like to check it out.
