I've been a Bladedancer main since the early days of Destiny, in PvP at least. Over the course of 2.5 years, it has seen nerfs to the following:
Arc Blade damage
Arc Blade duration
Arc Blade swipe super usage
Arc Blade hit detection (now fixed, kind of)
Arc Bolt Grenade damage
Arc Bolt grenade radius
Skip Grenade damage
Skip Grenade tracking duration
Skip Grenade -1 tracker
Flux Grenade magnetism
Blink distance
Blink preparedness time (x2)
Blink cool down
Blink -1 recovery
Blink removes HUD
Quick Draw ready time (x2)
Blink Strike range
Blink Strike Escape Artist activation time
Blink Strike Backstab activation window
Blink Strike Fast Twitch cool down
Stalker activation time
Hungering Blade health regeneration
The only skill perks that haven't seen a nerf are Showstopper, Fleet Footed, Shadow Jack, & Encore.
Staggering, really.

Yes this is true and the buffs had made it better in pve than ever before,but we have been nerfed a lot compared to other classes. Does anyone else feel like this is residue salt from the early days when we ruled the crucible unchallenged?
