It hinders movement, makes some classes skip their raid saving off heal or counterspell (at Cho'Gall for instance), go into AoE when focussed damage is needed (DS Airship battle, pre 15% nerf) and the likes. DPD counters are nice, but should not be considered relevant above understanding the encounter and working as a team.
