It's all about slow, hard-hitting weapons...the Reaper isn't overpowered.
If they do change how instant attacks are done, that will eliminate every single 2H weapon past 3.0 speed from being useful. Honestly...there's not one single reason to use a slow weapon besides instant attacks. If instant attacks aren't based on weapon damage then there's gonna be a lot of weapons floating around on the AH not being bought because they're over 3.0 speed.
Hunters, Paladins, and Shaman use fast 2H right now...warriors use slow 2H. Why change it? Warriors have sucked up until the patch before last, why nerf them now? We're just where we need to be. Making instant-damage abilities not based on weapon damage will RUIN the warrior class, end of story.

Some pallys prefer slow 2h, as was stated above. Shaman do use fast 2h. And the reason hunters use fast 2h is cause the melee classes all get first dibs on the slow 2h :P
But honestly, it's not just the reaper that's the cause of the potential changes (which are of course currently wild speculation, but some things before speculated about have come true). The reaper is just one of the flavor of the month targets for the WoW community to call for a nerf. But rogues also rely heavily on instants, especially with daggers. They also rely heavily on poisons. But daggers are all for the most part all ultra-quick, even the high-end daggers. One of the best daggers for a rogue is a barman's shanker, even better than felstriker or some of the higher drops. And that's just because it's the slowest dagger. IMO, it's silly that the godliest weapon for a rogue would be a dagger with 1-2 dmg and 10.0 speed. Based on the current blizz system, something like that would be hitting for 4-5k WITHOUT critical hits when you backstab or ambush.
