Since BlueAo still hasn't CLEARLY explained what the bug is, I'll give it a shot.
They fixed the passive itself. That is, if you HAD the passive, it would work properly now. However, you don't have the passive right now due to a different bug. That bug was confirmed an hour ago on bugtracker it seems.
BlueAo, any news on conquest catch up? Proterean told us that Conquest Catchup would come with all the SoO launches in, what he called it, a "Mega-launch". We got LFR and SoO hc, but we have no conquest catchup... PvP community is still desperately waiting for it...
