Simply put................Do you think master brawler will be worth the extra skill points if they nerf warcry? Please give reasons for your answers.

It really depends on howWarcrywill operate. If they extend it's range, make it a radius effect instead of cone and increase it's time then it may still be useful in PvE. I'm not sure if it will be useful in PvP unless everyone within it's range can't attack you if it sticks thus allowing you to focus on one player at a time.
Is this a deal breaker? Well, for this TKM it will be considering I can spam Intimidate I and utilize UA KD II versus UA Lunge II. The whole Intimidate\Warcry II plus UA Lunge II package is what sold me on Master Brawler.I'm capped on some of the mods, so they're not all that important.

Having 20 - 30 seconds of free hits is obviously a nice thing to have. And I will miss it, but, frankly, I would have gone for Master Brawler for Lunge2 even if Warcry2 was not part of the skill set.
I think it is reasonable that they are changing it so that if you continue to attack them, they do not just stand there taking a beating for 20 - 30 seconds. But, I also believe that the changes are excessive. It would be much more palatable, I think, if they would change it so that you could delay them until they took damage, but if that damage did not come from you, they could not attack you until you damaged them or the timer wore off. Also, I think that it should allow you two or three free hits, not just one. This would be a similar concept to what ranged professions get when they can go prone at 40+ meters and get off several free shots before the creature aggros on them. Similarly, you could approach a creature, hit it with warcry, and then you get two or three hits before it breaks the delay.
With those two changes, I think that it would be a far less heavy handed change.
But either way, Lunge2 and Intimidate2 still work as advertised, so I will be bummed, but not enough to reinvest the skill points, that is for sure.
