Re: If you still need VS...
Truth to be told, with the DPS a TSO-equipped guild can push out, kills have been anti-climactic quite some time (that doesn't fully apply to pickup raids though). VS could be hard for raids with a 45k total and/or people who notoriously don't pay attention. When he goes down quickly and doesn't have the opportunity to do his power tricks, the kill is pretty straightforward.
With that in mind, the nerf was pretty uncalled for.
On the other hand, originally VS (along with OK) was one of the guards of Leviathan (who in turn guarded VP), and everyone in a Levi raid had to have killed both. That's why he was hard for all but the best guilds at that time. With the huge nerf of the Levi access conditions (only one in raid...) there was no more need to keep him difficult, as there were enough flagged people to basically zone in the whole server. Lots of myth'ed people nowadays don't even have seen him once (not troubs, obviously).
