Animal Handler vs Pale Horse and PoJ

I was just wondering if there had ever been some explanation behind why of the 3 mount speed increasing talents Animal Handler is half as effective?

For reference here are the 3 talents (2 points each)

Q u o t e:

On a Pale Horse (Tier 4 Unholy) You become as hard to stop as death itself. The duration of all Stun and Fear effects used against you is reduced by 20%, and your mounted speed is increased by 20%. This does not stack with other movement speed increasing effects.


Persuit of Justice (Tier 3 Ret) Reduces the chance you'll be hit by spells by 2% and increases movement and mounted movement speed by 15%. This does not stack with other movement speed increasing effects. (probably at 15% so that crusader aura would mean something)


Animal Handler (Tier 6 BM) Increases your speed while mounted by 8% and your pet's chance to hit by 4%. The mounted movement speed increase does not stack with other effects.


As you can see, Animal Handler is clearly not inline with the other 3 talents. Is the 8% back from when PoJ was still 3 talent points and when you put 2 points into it it was only 10% but then it was reduced to 2 talent points total?

Anyways... I was just wondering if there had ever been some discussion on why this is? :)

This talent will be changed in an upcoming build, I do agree it's somewhat lackluster.
