The Starcraft II Public Test Realms just came out with Patch 1.4.2 which included some surprising nerfs to Ghost's EMP radius as well as buffs to Protoss' forge upgrades. The updates look very promising to the current PvT imbalances with 1-1-1 Deathballs being extremely powerful on short rush distance maps and with no solid response from the Protoss community.
PROTOSS
Forge
The cost of Upgrade Shields Level 1 has been decreased to 150/150, down from 200/200.
The cost of Upgrade Shields Level 2 has been decreased to 225/225, down from 300/300.
The cost of Upgrade Shields Level 3 has been decreased to 300/300, down from 400/400.

The cost of Upgrade Ground Weapons Level 3 has been decreased to 200/200, down from 250/250.
The cost of Upgrade Ground Armor Level 2 has been decreased to 150/150, down from 175/175.
The cost of Upgrade Ground Armor Level 3 has been decreased to 200/200, down from 250/250.
TERRANNow to clarify some math, the area of a circle is equal to πr^2, so although many people may be under presumption that the nerf is "only 25%", the actual area loss is equal to [(π(2^2)-π(1.5^2))/π(2^2)] or (4-2.25)/4 which equals a 43% decrease in EMP radius. In otherwords, EMP in 1.4.2 is 43% smaller or 57% of its original size.
Ghost
EMP radius has been decreased from 2 to 1.5
