So I don't play balance and by no means am I a pro... but that sounds like a bugfix plus a buff to me.
WiseEclipse was "exploiting" Eclipse, the 15 sec thing fixes that.
40% up from 30% is clearly a buff...
What the problem is?

Sounds like you didn't know how WiseEclipse worked.

I should have screen shotted it but there was a brief glitch in the display of the Eclipse talent right after the servers came up that just about gave me a heart attack. It was showing as 47% buff to both rather then 40% but that was the tool tip getting modified by the 2t8 set bonus. I was very sad to watch it change after I finished swapping to my 4T9 :(
Picture of the changes:
Loss of WiseEclipse addon "loophole".
Loss of 8% crit/dmg from the 2t8 bonus.
Gain 10%crit/dmg from the buff to eclipse.
So... 45 - 8 + 10 = 47
Is a 2% crit/dmg buff worth the loss of WiseEclipse? very much so.
And with the greater stat allowance on the 2 pieces of 232 or 245 gear you are getting, the 4t9 bonus is definitely worth losing the 2t8 over.
45 - 15 + 10 + 4 = 44
1% loss over all for a fairly hefty stats gain and with triumphs being the easiest thing to get now a days 4T9 is now the set to get for starting boomers.

I don't think it's a glitch, they are making all tooltips behave like that (or at least they are trying to). If you put your 2t8 back on the tooltip will return to 47%.

Fair enough. Would have been and interestingly bad buff in some ways.

1% crit can be roughly thought of as 1% damage during a napkin math session and vice versa :P

1191 + 60 + 52 = 1303
1303 * 1.1 * 1.1 * 1.02 = 1608.1626
1608.1626 / 166.667 = 9.649%
9.649 + 1.85 = 11.499%
I'm not positive about the class constant myself (opening a blank toon in Rawr shows 2.71%) but if that is the case then yes you did the math correctly :P
Edit: Yes the class constant is 1.85%. I forgot to take into account the base int at 80 of 143.
143 / 166.667 = 0.86
0.86 + 1.85 = 2.71
So yes your math is correct.
