It is good. MWD drives were never intended from my impression to be used in all-out combat and are what caused the really extreme speeds to be possible so extreme that you were practically invincible. Now MWD can be shut down and webs will actually be reduced in strength. So provided you dont get hit with a scrambler you still will have the capability for extreme speed but you will not be able to soley rely on it to make you untouchable.
I think these are great changes. People should focus on their speed without MWD now... if you can hit around 2k without one you will still be in very good shape I think.

If you're using an afterburner instead of a MWD it's a lot easier.

2km/s constitutes a moon sized, slow, target for everything but large artillery at point blank.

Perhaps you forget that without MWD, you won't actually have a moon-sized signature radius to match the slower speed...
Try it. MWD was already worse than AB in terms of being tracked, particularly by oversized guns.

i wonder if WCS will now be more useful in keeping those MWD going...

Take away the risk and it would make flying around in space utterly pointless.
Take away the flying around part and you make EVE into a space themed spreadsheet application. |

Speed is just like pre-nerf NOS or pre-nerf ECM. If you could pull it off on your ship, you'd bend over backwards to make sure you could have it, as they made just about every ship better.
As for the "I spent X ISK, I should win EVE" that logic ALWAYS fails unless you own said ship. If you get killed by a station humping Moros, you aren't going to be like "Well, you spent the money, you get the results you want"
