IIRC, the MWD nerf came about in order to give a penalty to people that were using it "too efficiently" to run blockades. Apparently the PvP crowd was having a hard time catching their prey. This happened at a time when you could start your MWD before leaving warp, therefore aproaching gates at a very high speed indeed.
By that time tracking and sygnatures and all that, was not really working, so no one would use a MWD in PvP. MWD was almost exclusively ment for travelling and used in some PvE setups. And it should probably remain there. The Thorax bonus says otherwise, though.

I had written WMD instead of MWD... 
I'm not saying that the Thorax advantage is unfair. Maybe it is since everyone says the thorax is so Uber... Not my point.
Was just stating that giving the thorax a bonus for use with MWD is not consistent with nerfing MWD out of combat, and into a purely travelling aid (something that at a certain point appeared to be the intention of whoever decides balance).
