Its simply because Stability Spam is king in fractals. Why bother avoiding Mechanics when you can rely on a single class to protect you from Mechanics.
I just swap to scrapper for Aquatic since Superspeed works and losing Alac isn't that big a deal for just Aquatic. I guess the swap to revenant makes sense if the Alac you give saves enough time on the fight to be worth the swap.
The worst thing about the Rifle Change wasn't that it was lowered to 2 shots its the after-cast delay added to it.
Mechanical Genius getting a duration increase is nice and Mechanical Genius does help further the gap between Mechs who are trying and Mechs who aren't.

Legendary Armor is free to Transmute so it really doesn't matter which one you obtain in terms of visuals because Raid Armor is the only one with a unique design. The PvP and WvW Armor don't have unique skins they just use the ascended skins of the armor used to make them.
Being forced to live in shroud isn't all its cracked up to be. Would rather have them increase the attack speed and damage of Greatsword to give a reason to be outside of shroud.
