I'm pretty sure I answered precisely that question: that the melee hate of the epic is quite medicore, that they cared more about the hate than the stats, and that they probably didn't realize (because they weren't parsing) how good -40ATK really was. Based on what Pasi quoted for the relatively low-atk mobs we are seeing it should be something like a 10% damage reduction.
The warrior epic would be so much better if both the swords were 12/20 and the blue one increased the proc rate of the mainhand by 50%. Together those changes increase the hate of the epic by 25% or so. Even a 13/20 epic isn't that outrageous; that would basically make the epic a willsapper clone.
