You're only losing 13% +damage conversion from int. Earth and Moon alone will probably make up for that, not to mention Master Shapeshifter, and then there is the increases in int you'll see by level 80. It's still a nerf, certainly - I am not saying it is not - but it is not a big one.
As an example, say you had 1000 spell power and 400 int (increasing your spellpower to 1100 on Live). A 4k starfire crit should be easily possible on a raid debuffed mob at this level of gear. With your gain from int halved with the new Lunar Guidance, you'd only be at around 1050. Functionally, on a 4k starfire crit, you'll only lose about 200 raw damage, maybe 300 at the maximum (at this gear level).
I realize my numbers for int is pretty low for raid buffed at that level of gear. However, it's just meant as an example. I'd also calculate the numbers more accurately if I had the time and Starfire's talented coefficient on hand.

No, spellpower is at the exact same rate than spelldamage. (and about 1.88 less than healing).
Look up any spell damage gear on the wotlk part of wowhead to verify that.

Don't think that it's just balance druids. Arcane mages had a reduction in theirs as well, from 25% down to 15%.
I suspect its due to the changes to spellpower, and maybe INT being changed up or stats of INT being loads higher. We shall see.
