It's a nerf to AP Shaco, yes. The thing with his ultimate, though, is definitely a buff; the ultimate can now slow people whom it attacks, which is huge. Additionally, he's basically guaranteed a critical strike with his Q if you use it effectively. These are buffs to an AD Shaco, which I believe is what Riot intended to do--Phreak and Morello mentioned that they wanted to make Shaco less of a "one-trick pony," i.e. making AP Shaco less viable.
