Lightning bolt coefficient nerf?

Daidalos on the elitist jerks forum did a bunch of testing with lightning bolt, and it looks like the coefficient it receives from spellpower has been reduced.

He found that w/o paralysis, the coefficient is .71. With paralysis it's .781. In both cases he has 5/5 concussion.

Currently on live our coefficient is .794, so with paralysis it should be at .8737. Is this an intended nerf to our scaling?

Edit:
Here's the post where the live coefficients were announced after the lightning bolt cast time change:

Lightning Bolt always had a higher coefficient than similar bolt spells. This was because there weren't as much/any nature damage debuffs. Now that they exist, we're restoring Lightning Bolt to it's intended coefficient. Your DPS in a raid setting will if anything be higher with these changes.
