Lack of CC? You have plenty of CC.
I've played it for fun - just with a hpala instead - and it worked out quite well. Not the best setup in the world, but def. 2.2k viable - especially with a resto druid.
Versus wizard teams, if there's a mage on the team, we train the mage till kingdom come, if not, then we usually switch around targets and try to gib the healer if he's out of big CD's.
Most meele cleaves didn't really pose an obscene amount of threat. We'd just connect on a DPS, and again switch healer after big cds.
