It's definitely true that WOTC could have obviated a lot of present and future errata by simply stating that having multiple copies of the same item does not allow you to use an "item daily" power more than once per day. That is, after all, precisely what the word "daily" means.
(this goes back at least as far as Veteran's Armor; and let's face it, carrying three suits of Veteran's Armor and swapping them around was a pretty cheesy move to begin with)

It fixes a bunch of encounter powers that have since been turned into dailies too. Swiftshot, Flute... It helps with dice of auspicious fortune.
It's just a generally good thing, as far as I can tell. The only person hurt is, say, a ranger dual wielding the same weapon. I'm okay with that casualty.

Nah. My STR/CON barbarian still loves the +2 AC he gets from it. His AC is 20 now instead of 22, but since I won't be raising DEX on him ever, it's nice to get the +2 AC.
I took it knowing full well it would likely get nerfed seeing as I was rarely getting hit in mods.
The problem with HAE is the 15 Con requirement. My Thaneborn barbarian had to pay the feat tax for chain just to have decent AC when HAE would of gave me the same defenses.

In truth it makes sense though. Normally proficiecy in Hide requires Con 13. So to have expertise in hide armor it isn't a stretch to require a slightly higher Con. Armor Spec (Hide) requires a 15 con as well and it stacks with HAE giving you a total of +3 to AC and a check penalty reduction.
It fits. So I dont' see the problem with it. Is it goign to be useful for every class/build? No... but are you upset that you wouldn't have been able to take Armor Spec that has the same requirement?
Sorry WOTC, you lost me with Essentials. So where I used to buy every book that came out, now I will be very choosy about what I buy. Can we just get back to real 4e? Check out the 4e Conversion Wiki. 1. Wizards fight dirty. They hit their enemies in the NADs. -- Dragon9 2. A barbarian hits people with his axe. A warlord hits people with his barbarian. 3. Boo-freakin'-hoo, ya light-slingin' finger-wigglers. -- MrCelcius in response to the Cleric's Healer's Lore nerf
