From elite to r7 all i see is casters and ranged doing everything: Instant, CC, healing, AoE as close range is usually a death sentence. Also AoE in Reaper, i dont know how it works out of casters nuking it, no tank or CC can hold any mob group long enough for AoE autoatack to start pulling its weight. Your single target is also nerfed unless the 3x bonus is enough to outpeform GBs that use to happen on single target too.
The extra attribute damage should make up for the lack of GB as:

1) GB only happened 50%-75% of the time anyway

2) GB did not benefit from the majority of damage multiplying effects, only melee power and base damage. (Doublestrike and crit now work, which is a major damage multiplier)
