This post is from a PvE perspective. I play PvP rarely and unsuccessfully. :)
If Icebreaker will generate a round every eight seconds instead of every five seconds, you should at least be able to pick up special. Six in the magazine, ~15+ total reserve, like every other sniper.
As for Black Hammer ... Why? Just, why? It is OP in a few special cases, but only vs PvE stationary bosses. No need to mess with it. I would rather have a big magazine, say 8 rounds, and drop the perk entirely if I have to pull from reserves anyway.
I don't mind the Gjallahorn nerf in theory. I have a bunch of exotic weapons I rarely use (including Icebreaker!) because Gjallahorn is too good not to equip. But if you only nerf and don't buff anything to compensate (auto rifles do not compensate), and what used to take 30-90 seconds now becomes a long slog ... Right or wrong, you are going to alienate people.
Not every gun needs to be perfectly balanced. You can have an "elite" tier and those can be clearly superior, maybe not as much as today, but you don't need to nerf to the point Black Hammer is no better than LDR, for example.
I wonder if there will be new OP TTK weapons?

I don't doubt there will be
