Issues with the "new" dexterity

So there have been a few post about how the "new" dexterity interacts with burden of might causing the double power drain. Does anyone know if kabam ever officially responded to those posts?
I've noticed another issue with dexterity and it is this. Kabam have really liked using the buffet node in the monthly EQs lately and this is where I've had this problem. If you are trying to get a special attack out of the AI and you accidentally trigger dexterity you feed the buffet node, this has always been the case nothing new there, but if you dont get in an attack before the timer resets then the second part of dexterity will also trigger buffet. I was using my quake against uncollected diablo and triggered dexterity at the very beginning of the fight (I didn't care because he still have 100% health) but much later in the fight when using a heavy to create space dexterity finally converted into the active buff and fed buffet a second time.
I'm just curious if this is an intentional interaction with the "new" dexterity?

Buffet has a timer. You’re not double triggering it through dex
buffet and dexterity sucks badly...
i get it is wat it is but i hate it soooo much....
i take buffet every war and it is infuriating to know fights get extended and sometimes timeout cus of it....
as i said i get it is wat it is....
but my opinion is buffet and dexterity suck...
you shouldnt get punished for evading an attack imo....
9/10 times its better to take block damage then to dex and cause 15k regen
That’s right, over 21K damage just by a single dex. #VoidMVP
i do the same with my CAIW + tech....
but its not the point...
we know how to get around it....
my point was its just stupid and annoying and sucky.. lol
Well... that’s the whole point of Buffet. To be hard Lol... this game ain’t easy bub.
doesnt mean everyone has to like everything.
"bub".....
lol...
i am sure there are things u dont like...
says buffet is supposed to be hard...
posts how he used super easy no effort mode to deal with it...
lol...
And what do you believe you're doing? The exact same thing that you're criticising. It's not hard to stay away from content you're not interested in.
so they didn't satisfy both those of us with mystic defanders and those who suffer now from double dex proc. were those changes helpful generally? don't think so. also no any form of compensation for all those dorms and others ranked champs. uc is so trash now, only jugs got some minor change. promised to "keep an eye" on mystic champs, but do they? I almost don't see dorm any more, and when I do, he's usually on some "diversity" node. don't think mystics use their sp3 a lot.
the point is players have things to be upset about, yet you blame them for being upset, not the company for upsetting them
I'd like a little feedback on this issue. It's all well and good to say they haven't decided whether rank downs are appropriate and will be monitoring data. Even if they conclude that it isn't needed no update feels like it's been swept under the proverbial rug. I'd like to have an update even if the answer is that the data says all is well. Personally I think rank downs for MD are needed even though I don't need one.
To be clear, Burden of Might was interacting this way before they changed Dexterity. When they first introduced Burden of Might in Story mode, you would get one power drain from the precision buff via Dexterity and you'd get power drained AGAIN when you hit the enemy, consuming that precision buff.
This isn't a new interaction. The problem is the Burden of Might node. Either the description is wrong (the power drain happens on both buff trigger and expiration) or the node is Bugged. It's been brought up to Kabam before. This bug is over a year old at this point.
