Mandokir and Jin'Do currently have a similar type of loot table, and this template of theirs differs from those of the rest of the bosses in the zone. I believe that all they mean is that both Mandokir and Jin'Do will drop this item or items, as part of their "loot boss" status.
While Mandokir drops melee/ranged epics and Jin'Do drops caster epics, their blue tables are both balanced and their current quest drops also run the gamut. I see no reason why they would make this new quest drop in line with the epic drops rather than with the current quest drops.
I believe that main issue this change is directed toward fixing is the fact that the 9 different Primal Hakkari items have differing drops rates due to their use in armor quests at particular faction levels, which makes their use in the enchantments quests which are at a fixed faction level unfair to those who need a Tabard, Kossack, or Aegis and are forced to wait for a rarer Primal drop and then potentially take this rare quest item away from someone who has been working on their quest at revered for an epic reward.
I could be wrong about the implementation, but I feel that this will be a positive change and will also see the prices of the DM librams drop again. As a Priest Librams of Focus would be nice to be affordable to actually use for the +9 dmg/healing on my DPS set since my ZG enchant is a healer focussed reward. At least the Exalted shoulder enchants are open to all classes, so I can put +33 healing on my Zandalar Confessor's Mantle and +18 dmg/healing on my Virtuous Mantle or something.
Hoping for the best,
