Simplifying stats does not solve the problem of gear diversity and it certainly will not stop BiS lists, as long as Blizzard tends to release 'gear me up' patches as unimaginative as the Coliseum. The change is being done purely for the purposes of spending less development time on itemization. Does anyone here honestly believe that regeneration or let's say int-to-spellpower conversion formulas will be become less "complicated" in Cataclysm ? I'm willing to bet that they will become even more complex, or worse there will be multiple formulas for the conversion of a simple stat to something more meaningful.
