I sort of agree but I dunno. I don't think the knerf (ha!) was too severe, but just like "why was this needed?"
I main a hunter and I do play with Gunslinger a lot in crucible. I never used the burn perk, but I did toss a lotta knives in skulls for kills. When it happened to me, I never got the impression of it being abused, but more like "oooh, well thrown, sir." So I'm not sure why it needed any balancing. It at least took good aim and timing to pull off. You could miss and waste a charge, leaving yourself wide open. Or hit a body shot and fail to kill.
But after the nerf I didn't find it hard to kill with it either. I actually was still completing Crucible quests (I don't usually play a lot of crucible) and the "score throwing knife kills" was one of them. While I couldn't just chuck a knife into an eyesocket, I could still get consistent kills with it. I'd shoot and weaken an enemy then toss a knife anywhere on him. Requires a little more work, but it's still easy. Works really well in those firefights where you're running low on ammo in the clip.
So I got mixed feelings about it.
