Yeah there's a lot of burst, but there's a lot of burst healing as well. A ret can do 40k in a global, but a single Serenity can heal for 40k as well. It kind of balances out in the end.
And games still last a long time, at least in 3s. It's rare a game ends in under 3 minutes, which is enough time for both sides to use their CDs at least twice. Most games go about 5 minutes and then end just as dampening is starting, which I think is a really good pace. Occasionally games take like 10 minutes and those always feel lousy to play because they just get boring.
Honestly I think the pace right now is pretty perfect, and I'd be very happy if Dragonflight plays at around the same speed. Maybe slightly slower would be okay, but I really don't want to end up back in a heavy dampening meta because that was actually unplayable.
