This week my team definitely did pretty well. I was bringing people down pretty reliably on my Paladin and the two dispels have actually gone a pretty long way in helping out. I can definitely agree that under pressure it's hard to really do anything if that pressure happens to not be magical; melee can still tunnel right through our paper armor. But I'm still not having as many problems as before; healing is doing pretty good. A couple 40ks and I'm in good shape even under pressure.
I'm not sure about the whole "Hammer of Wrath doesn't hit hard." It seems to be killing people just fine as it always has. Killed a few healers by myself, just a matter of outplaying them and matching them in gear. And also having a teammate helps.
