Yes, it was changed. It's now more for preference except axe is usually preferred for PvE due to higher crit.
@Rusty: The windswept bug doesn't make swords fall anymore so that part of the effect just doesn't happen. When it does happen, it drops the target's crit resist in half which is extremely helpful against things like bolty and dragon nests.
Also the build you did looks fine. The only thing you might want to keep in mind is level 11 kick shot. In tempest videos, when you notice they have a string of black after images following them, that's kick shot EX. It lets you chase them farther.
Pretty sure you'll enjoy tempest too since it's considered the god of PvP right now.
