Question is: with the stack count limited to 10, what would you gain for each rank of the gem in the first effect? Gem rank can't increase the stack limit any more.
Great question. The maximum of ten stacks is static, so this will not change as you level up the gem. Instead, the damage increase will scale along with your gem. As of the last time I saw it, the damage increase on a Rank 1 gem was 2% per stack, and it went up to 6% per stack at Rank 100. Of course, this may change before PTR begin or throughout the course of PTR and we'll be keeping an eye on feedback and usage.
Taeguk will now stack more quickly, but also drop off more quickly. The maximum is now ten stacks, and you’ll now lose the stack after 1.5 seconds instead of 3 seconds
Does this mean the level 0 cap, or will this be a fixed cap?
If it's fixed, then I wonder what ranking up taeguk will do.

You can only get 10 stacks and they will stack up much quicker. So this is no issue.
Correct - we're hoping that losing your stacks when you zone won't be a problem since you won't feel like you have to waste time building up massive stacks again if you happen to lose them.
What is 'higher grifts.' If I'm doing 60-65 am I in 'higher grifts' under this definition?
This is a great question. More specifically with that statement on reduced incoming monster damage we're targeting the grifts starting around the 70s, and then extending into 80+.
will we see patch 2.4.1 during the seasonal period or is this a next season kind deal?
We won't be dropping the live 2.4.1 patch mid-season. The PTR patch will most likely be happening while Season 5 is still active, but that of course won't affect any of your Season 5 heroes.

Not sure if this is what you mean by this comment, but I want to clarify that this isn't the full list of changes. We'll have the full list soon.
