Weapon Rebalance

Mod required hostside and clientside. Damage calculation and weapon stats are clientside but damage profiles don't seem to update clientside.

This mod buffs most underperforming weapons for Cataclysm and nerfs a few of the overperforming weapons. All of the changes have been playtested by a few people in developing it, but more feedback is needed.
