They changed the regen because in the past, junglers didn't typically give their blue buffs to other champions during the laning phase. Now since passing off buffs has become so popular (and also due to mana regained from the small camps), Riot feels that having blue buff is excessive in the way of regen for a jungler (as well as by reducing the mana regen, junglers won't feel gimped because the small camps give mana based on how much you are missing), and also that by giving blue buff to a laner you won't let them completely dominate a lane just because the jungler decided to keep it for himself.
