I don’t mean on Cata Classic, but on retail, with all the min-maxing having the ability to reforge 30%(if i remember correctly) of your secondary stats should be great. It will also be easier to get to your targeted % on your stats for casual players or so.
I don’t see the downside of this system.

Somebody call the cops, I’ll distract him untill they arrive!
dials ze police
Operator: Hello Police, what is the emergency?
Caller: Hello, yes help… there is a crazy person on the World of Warcraft forums, who is requesting features, that were never liked… it seems they’re not joking, but are actually serious!
Operator: No problem, we’ll find out their location and find out a unit to neutralize the problem for both you, us and the genepool!
Caller: OMG thank you!

Generally while the system was a plus when we had hit and expertise caps to worry about, it also had some flaws.
The downside was as stated by blizzard that the stats of the gear did not really matter, players were not that interested in their stats, and the whole system introduced a cycle of getting a drop>simming all your gear for best reforge>go equip the gear and reforge.
With the current system that has no caps, no hit/expertise, and diminishing returns on each stat, I do not think blizzard will bring it back (and don’t really blame them, since it won’t be a huge plus).

I think letting us choose stats on crafted gear is far enough. I can get like 50 % haste on a character if I wished it. I think that’s vastly better than during reforging days. I too have a pink filter when looking back but that’s because I don’t take into account why it was good and why it was there. Hit and expertise where bad stats and I am glad they are gone.
Issue is, the system they’ve come up with also encourages simming. A lot.
I don’t think we’re ever going to be able to combat simming - and reforging definitely doesn’t help and generally makes gear more boring. I think the solution lies in the little things that can’t so easily be simmed. Making it easier to attack enemies and avoid being locked down in unfortunate situations.
