Just pulling back the curtain a little here but long story short, this was a mistake on our end. This player actually has a great history of reporting issues with us that they've found, and they wait for us to verify it's fixed before they put the videos up. This was a case of not everyone internally knowing this was happening and that the exploits he showcased were fixed, before the videos were posted.
The videos being posted are an example of great bug reporting in how detailed they are in showing how exactly to reproduce an issue. This is something Ion hit on in the last Q&A where he talked about the Quality Assurance team and how they have to reproduce issues that players report to us. Sometimes reports aren't detailed enough and it makes it a little harder to figure out some issues.
I just want to end this by plugging the correct channels to report bugs in.

Azerite Trait Tuning - September 25
I've updated the OP here to better reflect what actually changed on Sharpened Blades:
Rogue- (Assassination) Sharpened Blades: The benefit of having multiple copies of this trait active is reduced.
- (Subtlety) Sharpened Blades: damage reduced by 30% (unchanged in PvP). The benefit of having multiple copies of this trait active is reduced.
Island Expedition Reward Sources
A recent Reddit post highlighted a theory that users such have been talking about on the forum for a while.
The theory is that Island Expedition rewards are tied to killing specific named or types of NPCs on the island. For example, killing Mogu would give you a chance to win Pandaria transmog. Keep in mind that this is just a theory and isn't confirmed.
Deadly Boss Mods Patreon
MysticalOS has been working on Deadly Boss Mods full time for many years and recently posted an update about having to step down from raiding and how it would impact the development of the addon. He had financial issues that were impacting his health, ability to raid, and life. The community stepped up to support him, and Blizzard and MSI sent some things his way recently as well.
If you'd like to support the project, you can do so through his Patreon and the Donate link on the addon page.
