Raised the resistances of monsters on higher difficulties. These are still capped at 75%, but many monsters on Merciless are far enough above the cap that the Elemental Weakness curse is less effective than before.

This will reduce the overall damage you do with leap slam also might be a reason, if your using a elemental mod on your LS

It would be nice to hear whether it's been stealth nerfed or not.

But you're right that DPS will go down if monster resistances and/or armor are raised.

I think OP is talking about character sheet DPS, not raw damage. Therefore mob resistance is irrelevant.

The DPS of leap slam didn't change, the character screen calculation was corrected so it displays correct DPS.

Previously all attacks calculated attacks per second, and therefore DPS, assuming that the attack took the duration specified by the weapon (which most attacks do).
Leap Slam (and a select few other attacks) instead have their own base attack time, which overrides the one from the weapon - this is now correctly accounted for in the character sheet.

The actual DPS did not change other than the reduction in speed already mentioned in this thread, to my knowledge (although it's possible there was a separate change made to that as well that I'm not aware of, that would almost certainly have been specifically called out in patch notes).
