Ghostcrawler, a Lead System Designer at Blizzard, has explained why the player stats is getting revamped in the upcoming expansion Cataclysm.

Ghostcrawler is answering a question from a unsatisfied fan, that thinks the whole player stat system is getting too simplified, and it's a poor attempt to streamline gear, or characters to make so much loot usable by all players.

Am I the only player who sees this as an over simplification of player stats?

Originally the slaves of jungle trolls on the Isle of Kezan, the goblin race was forced to mine kaja'mite ore out of the volcanic bowels of Mount Kajaro.
