Well, the problem with the current jungle holy trinity is that the early game power of the three above champions is locking out most other potentially viable choices: it's not a question of dominance so much as a handful of champions setting the rules of the meta, which has been a problem with especially for the past few years. There's also no real way to deal with the "benefits" of early game aggression: nerf kill bonuses and you harm laners, nerf assist bonuses and you harm supports, and counterjungling already has enough counters as is, and discouraging it even more would lock out champions specialized in counterjungling such as and. Nerfing the benefits would also not prevent these junglers from locking out other champions, since they'd still be a lot stronger in the early game. The simplest and best solution here is simply to tone them down so that they're not excessively strong early. Eve got the best deal out of the three, as her damage scales a lot better into the late game now, provided you build damage.

While admittedly nerfing the current dominant picks will lead to a new set of dominant junglers, that doesn't mean that these junglers will necessarily prevent other viable choices from seeing play, unlike the current situation. If the new generation of dominant junglers happens to create the same problem, that would warrant a new batch of nerfs to them, until there's no longer a problem of junglers locking out other junglers.
