As alkorin said reload it. I typically do a /reload any time I make major changes because sometimes they won't work

"The team doesn't want you to go back and do old raids only for the hope of a legendary item."
"Random distribution of legendary items isn't a problem. There is something cool about not having the ability to choose a specific legendary from a list. Each person may have a different legendary, but those should be good in some different situations."
"The gap between the feeling of getting a utility legendary and getting a throughput increase legendary was too large early in the expansion, so tuning was done to bring the two types of legendary items closer together."

I think the message here is pretty clear, they feel like you should focus on one character and one spec in particular.
Its a fair stance, if you've been playing the same spec from the start of the expansion you should have all the legendaries for your spec and if you played enough you might even have all the legendaries for your class, which is what they are addressing now with the legendary boxes for alts.
I don't like it, personally, because I tend to get bored and swapping characters every tier helps me stay interested, but I know a lot of people who just stick to playing the one spec.
Feels odd to have such an hard stance on a game that is generally so casual friendly but I guess they figure if you are casual you shouldn't really care about the best legendaries and getting any two is already quick enough.

It's always bad design when you have to tell your players how you want them to play and then enforce it by making anything else punishing.

I'm not sure that is true.
I would argue that the worst part about it is the new players coming in.
Imagine someone starting right now, there are good odds that this person won't see their best legendaries drop for months.
But is that really a bad thing though?
Is it really that unfair that someone who has been loyal to one spec for a year now has such an advantage over this person?
Keep in mind that there are plenty of catch ups for the other pieces of gear and you can only use two legendaries and while the difference between the best two legendaries and the worst two is quite significant you can still be very effective without the best legendaries.

Except that this isn't even remotely close to true. The difference is astounding between the best and worst sets of legendaries. The difference can be as extreme as bottom of the pack dps vaulting to the front of the line, and a completely non-viable tank becoming viable simply because of one or two items. I've seen this on my own characters more than once, so I'm going to have to disagree with you on this.

I have a hard time reading this guy because on the one hand he's made one of the best expansions for the game and on the other hand he talks out of his ass like ace Ventura.
The only thing I can think is he wanted this expansion to be even more of 'slam your dick in a door jam' but the dev team had to reign him in. He was ex-EJ right? That would make total sense.

I get that in Mythic raiding a difference of say 200k dps is a huge difference but 200k won't keep you out of the rest of the content especially since you are not doomed to have it forever, if you keep at it you will for sure get it.
Its not about if you will get them, its just about when. You might even get lucky and get them right away.
So what I mean is that maybe someone that just started playing a particular spec two weeks ago doing 200k less dps than someone who has been at it for a year now isn't such a big deal.
Then again... someone could be at it a few months and still not have the best legendaries and someone could start playing and get them in a couple of weeks, which is why, while I kinda can agree with someone who is loyal to the spec having some advantage, I don't think this is a good way to do it.

For certain classes, having the best legendaries, and having the worst, can mean as much as 400+k DPS. That is fucking heyuuuge. If i only had Prydaz, haste ring, or the boots, or any combination of legendaries outside my top 3, IFE and OI or Lady's, it's the difference between 800k and 1.2m dps.
