They announced damage nerfs, damag mod nerfs, and possible proficiency changes back in early January:

The reason we've not hot-fixed a blanket 10% nerf is simply because of the knock -on effects it has (e.g. reducing the damage output of an ammo guzzler like the ACR means it gets a bigger nerf than simply reduced DPS; though some might argue that's not a bad thing).
For 1.8 you should see re-adjustment of damage mods, a reduction to weapon damage and possibly alteration of the weapon proficiency skills to only buff damage against shield or armor (in keeping with that weapon's profile) instead of a blanket 3% per level to both shields and armor.
You've missed WEEKS of possible time to complain about damage nerfs.
Dren and Templar equipment stats, wrong since release.

Also that "possibly" should definitely not happen it would really break, even more, the balance between shields and armor.
Whether the "possibly" part is happening is the only newsworthy bit at this point. I think you could pretty much assume that if they're trying to make TTK longer by reducing weapon damage, the RR was getting nerfed.

I think you could pretty much assume that if they're trying to make TTK longer by reducing weapon damage, the RR was getting nerfed. Pretty much. TTK has been complained about since 1.4 and the AA buffs, since all the full-auto weapons became easy-mode to kill with. If you thought the two new very powerful rifles would be exempt, you'd be pretty foolish.
That said, the "nerfs" could be much smaller for some weapons that others, and so further details really need to be laid out.
