Patch notes have been updated, here are the differences:

Mastery: Frostburn has been redesigned. Fingers of Frost now increases the damage of Ice Lance by an additional 2%, Brain Freeze increases the damage of the instant cast Frostfire Bolt by 2%, and damage done by the Mage's Water Elemental is increased by 2%.

Was it supposed to be good news? Was it supposed to be bad news?

It’s simply news. This thread was created based on datamined data that was released before the latest update to the official patch notes.

The number is a sort of placeholder anyway

I believe you're probably right, these numbers do seem a bit like placeholders, and my guess is that they’re probably going to be further adjusted before 5.4 goes live. We're still in very early stages of PTR.
