the dependance on AW as a mainstream burst in dps is the pressurepoint here. Our opponents always know what to expect from a ret when engaging them, and they always anticipate it and are prepared to counteract it even before going into a fight with one. If we had more burst taken away from AW and input into our more regular rotations, it would reduce the necessity of the CD, making it less predicable and important for our enemies to counteract.
That, or just make it non dispellable, every class has a counter, but for rets it seems almost all of them are with a simple offensive dispell.
