Patch 2.6 came and it has brought some changes to DPS operatives. They now do considerably more dmg and you see loads of them in WZs and in arenas. Are they really OP? Well, they still die a lot, so probably they're not OP. At least not as long as they don't pop up in a swarm of 3-4. So why is everybody complaining? The answer is quite a no brainer:

 

Due to the absurd OPness of operative healers in PvP, people were already perceiving the class as BW's favourite child. There are other classes that could use some PvP fine tuning, e.g. sorcs, but they have systematically been ignored by BW. Ignored at best, if you remember the "heal to full and mak'em pay line", which was quite a slap in the face.

 

Then the patch came, but only operatives have been seriously dealt with! And it's not the OP heal specc that has been tuned down a little, it's another specc that has been buffed a lot! It's as if they didn't have to queue for PvP adjustments, or as if no other class would be adjusted as long as not all operative speccs are absolutely top! Other classes hoping that 2.6 would be their patch will now have to wait for another 6 months and are probably losing faith anyway, cause following BW's plot, the only thing that the next patch will do is to buff a third operative specc.

I think the real reason is because they are the easiest posts to get attention with at the moment. Some people are worried that they might be too good after recent buffs - BW has a bit of a history in the over-buff and over-nerf dpt - and trolls love to feed those fears.
