Not having mad dash all the time won't be noticed in most content. It was a nice movement tool for keeping up with groups booking it from trash pull to trash pull but intercede can do the same thing. I guess on fights where mad dash is crucial your healers will just have to sweat a little harder. The ability morphs/tacticals/whatever we get this season will be the most important aspect of tanking this season I feel. Otherwise everything is more or less the same just some slight QoL decreases, which suck, but that's SWTOR baby! e: The grit teeth change from ED to ward for example is something that does not excite me.
