Shame that this had to be bugged around the same time they fixed TTW. Tier Bonus is easily worth 6% or so DPS. On top of that, not being able to swap FM and losing the additional crit from t9 is putting mages more than 5% crit below where they should be. The bright side is that when they finally do get to fixing all of that, mages are gonna come back out on top with a vengeance.

t9 bonus was intentionally removed and considered a fix

I maintain hope that Dev's will overturn that decision of theirs eventually. The 2p T9 trick was noticed by Blizzard well before 3.3 even went live, yet they ignored what would've been an easy fix, if that was really an exploit it their eyes. Instead, they let it last the rest of the expansion and based end-game class balance around mages having that 2.5% or so higher crit chance. To mess with that is to therefore alter the state of balance Blizzard left in 3.3.5, and there's no defending the removal of this bonus for a realm which aims to be as close blizz-like as possible.
