Gruul hotfixed again: Hurtful Strike restored

I suggest that the day between Wednesday and Friday be called "Gruulday" from now on (although it might confuse people into serving you porridge). Looks like Gruul was accidentally overnerfed in last night/this morning's hotfix, and has been hotfixed again:

We just fixed a bug that was causing Gruul to not perform his Hurtful Strike ability. Gruul should once again be using this ability.

Now I suddenly wish I'd gone on a Gruul raid last night. Hurtful Strike is an ability that Gruul performs about three times a minute, targeting the second character in melee range on his aggro list (hopefully the off-tank), which does around 12k damage before damage mitigation. Not the biggest stumbling block in the fight, since it just means the melee DPSers have to be a little more careful about their aggro so as not to overtake the OT, but still, every little bit helps. On the other hand, maybe if I got loot from a bugged Gruul, I'd feel guilty about that item forevermore...would you?
