The good: Comp lit! Not a huge buff, but its something. A bit of xp% to make up for its lack on spirits. A healthy bit of concealment, and of course AR. Nanoskills will help a lot, and attributes will help with spirits and earlier heal delta.
The bad: Shade AR went up more than most profs' evades did. Shades evades went up less than most profs AR did. Do the math - you'll hit some people you didn't before, and be hit by some people you weren't before. In pvm, its all good though! More AR and more evades!
The ugly: Nothing really!
