referencing the play-services via gradle stopped working for me - boiled it down - even the sample I used as a reference in the first place stopped working: https://plus.google.com/+AndroidDevelopers/posts/4Yhpn6p9icf

I fear that just the version increased but that raises 2 questions: #1) what is the new one? #2) why is the old version gone?
Answer
Check if you also installed the "Google Repository". If not, you also have to install the "Google Repository" in your SDK Manager.
Also be aware that there might be 2 SDK installations - one coming from AndroidStudio and one you might have installed. Better consolidate this to one installation - this is a common pitfall - that you have it installed in one installation but it fails when you build with the other installation.
