Have the nerfs around stamina NBs been mitigated at all since 1.6.1/1.6.2?

For those of you who have played more PTS have they done anything about this or are we back to early release days and months of lobbying to get back to being viable?

Specifically I mean:

- Block, stealth and dodge costing more and thus draining our key resource pool?
- Utility morphs that we could fund from magicka (like Ambush or Impale) now also draining stamina pool rather than simply scaling from weapon dam,age as originally mooted?
- Losing the potion boost that made up for lack of a strong class healing boost (yes I know magicka builds can rely more on DOTs from siphons)?
- What appears to be a general rise in stamina ability costs (but I have seen conflicting data on that)?
- Gimping of sets that aid with stamina/crit etc.

Essentially will a stamina focused DPS NB based around dual wield still be viable for good PvP and trials PvE or am I going to have to re-gear and totally re-spec if I don't want to be sitting around waiting for people to take pity on me?

from a pvp perspective that never was viable prior to 1.6 - with the changes done to NB skills any weaponline is viable as it is purly for the optics and maybe one utility skill and passives [block cost reduction etc.] and weapon dmg.
