Actually his attack speed buff being halved actually reduces his passive usefulness, since you'd use the shield to clear camps before, you'd get the 50% attack speed getting you more auto attacks and more passive cool down. It would also be recharged when you'd go to the next camp, providing you'd build some CDR. With the attack speed moving to Q but being halved it's really worse for your skill recharges. Which is also why the Cool Down on the shield is going down in the rework.

On the permanent slow issue, it's not going to be gone, it's just going to be gone for Skarner. {{ci|Ashe},, , , , , , ... Not even counting people that can stick to you with their slow due to speed buff like , or. All this removal of permanent slow on Skarner does, is force a different build path and play style for people that liked that part of him.
