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.

That is a good point, but would we really need to know that information as widely as we do now when we can just say "Intellect gives me mana and spellpower so that is what I need". For example, I will no longer need to know if I should get 20 AP or 10Agility. Agility would be the only choice there.
