Hail of Blades is awesome. Best rune on autoattacking assassins like Nocturne, Diana, Shaco...also good on Master Yi to charge rageblade.
Nimbus Cloak, frankly, I think is extremely underpowered. It's basically a phase rush except you have to ult for it. It doesn't even give slow resistance. Ultimate hat removal is a pretty massive mage nerf. Remove their mana, remove their runes...Riot hates mages. Frankly I think a lot of mages will go domination as primary now.
Last Whisper items...urgh. Changed from anti-tank to anti-everything.
Shurelya nerfed (yes!), Khazix nerfed (yes!), Banner cheese removed from the game (I LOVE YOU), but Xin nerf is a joke (sad).
This looks like an AD burst patch. From Stormrazor to Last Whisper items...this mainly advantages AD bruisers and assassins.

I don't know, I think Nimbus Cloak actually isn't all that bad.
Some other champions that might benefit from this that I can think of quickly:

Udyr doesn't have an ultimate. Nimbus Cloak literally does nothing on him.

It's also disabled on shape changing champions like Elise, Nidalee and Jayce.
In all those cases it's replaced by Nullifying Orb.
Even if it were changed to work on them it would activate automatically when you're farming and go on cooldown for one minute.
God that rune needs a buff.
