How is it taking this damn long? They've been working on it since what is, April/May last year? When people wrote up their wish lists a PvE skill rebalance for half of the classes was mentioned by every other poster. How the hell is this a low priority still? If you look a the game update pages on the wiki people clearly are disappointed every time they visit it and see there is no dervish update there.
How a class plays in PvE affects every single piece of content already existing in the game, never mind any new stuff they want to create. If half the classes in the game have been marginalised to niche play styles and builds by years of PvP nerfs or just inferiority from other classes with power creep that is a huge opportunity loss for players to access a variety of classes and play styles.
When so many players strongly desire PvE rebalances for half of the classes you'd think they would prioritise something so fundamental to game a little higher than 1/10 classes getting a rebalance every 8-10 months especially when it's clear at least 3 are significantly less viable/versatile compared to others. Bringing all classes up to a level viable and diverse playing field and you will have done more for GW than anything GW:B will ever do with content updates. That should be their number one priority, it should have been done with Nightfall and EotN when they had a full staff to fix it but the PvP/PvE split screwed the players over big time. Since they split both skills they never bothered to do a thorough run through of PvE skills to revitalise the play styles and abilities of classes which were fine in PvP but were lacking a lot in PvE.
