One hopes that they will rebalance around that.
EDIT:
Since the world server I was on just went down, here is a SS from live and a SS from beta with the same gear, except for the missing stat-stick and reforging as much as possible for expertise cap.
You can draw your own comparisons on the stats. Interesting thing the way the AP change happens, which I imagine is partially the effect of having TSA as BM.
