I don't know if I'm alone or not on this, but I really really enjoy the current heart strike debuff.

It plays a key role in my pvp build, and I feel any good pvp spec will have it because it's one of the only way we have to help us against healers (not to mention all the other things the debuff helped against).

Does the new ability do nothing but regular damage to a single target now? So the change is a nerf to single target DPS but a help to aoe? There are so many other easier ways to do this..... why take away the only way our class has to add a substantial pvp debuff.

Please.....

The Heart Strike debuff never actually worked correctly. As we thought about it some more, we didn't know if we really needed another debuff mechanic for the DK when they are already sporting so many.

It's still an interesting idea and might resurface somewhere in the future, but we think the cleave version of Heart Strike is more useful, easier to understand and actually works.
