All the hunter nerfs, besides st, were rediciulous. From what ive gathered, bungie is FORCING change down are throats. Gunslingers mostly used trips, so they nerfed them to the ground to encourage the use of swarms. They only changes circle of life because everybody uses inciderary blade. They also changed the stat bonuses on all the perks because they were overused. Also, because hunters are the most common class, they nerfed it to the ground to encourage the use of the others, even though they were all equal.
