Just get rid of all the damn healing abilities alltogether. I liked it better when I fought stuff and knew that their HP was as finite as the number it displayed (talking damage dealers here, of course you healers got to heal :P)
Instead now I have to beat through every opponent as if it was a Wrath ret pally, with the 2 extra lives (lay on hands, bubble heal to full).
What is even better, is Blizzard believes their own bullshit, just look at the latest blue posts about CC. Like are you serious? Yes, it takes the hunter's FULL attention to scatter-trap me, and then follow that up with the FULL attention of his partner for more CC. Of course, because they are wasting "so much time" cc'ing you, they couldn't possibly be also killing you or your partner while you stand their helplessly because you lost the CC arms race this time.
Almost every one of my arena losses come because either I or my partner(s) were CC chained first. Almost all of my wins? You bet they came because I or my partner(s) CC chained first. That's not skill. That's simply who can hit their stun/silence/fear buttons the fastest.
I agree with the blue that CC chains can be countered. What I don't agree with is that they can be countered successfully all the time. Let's look at a warlock for a second here. Warrior as an opponent. Lock opens with Mortal Coil. Warrior trinkets, probably throws out a gag order or reflect if the lock tries to fear. Okay, so you gag order it, cool, charge in and do damage. Oh but wait, warlock pet seduce. Now eat everything the lock has for a bit. K seduce breaks, now he tries to fear you. You have either gag order or SR left, whichever you didn't use. If you gag ordered the first time, cool, now SR that shit and go beat on him. But oh wait, he probably has a trinket for his own fear. So nvm there. But it's cool, you have shockwave and all your "OP CD Stacking." Nah fuck it, says the lock, go defensive for a sec, throw out a fear, lock portal, anything. Here comes the fear again out of the portal. Oh but it's cool I have MSR for it. Or maybe he doesn't fear, maybe he just seduces you again.... on and on...
Point is, the whole fight turns into who CCs who for longer, leading to who wins. Yeah... Blizzard is just slow.
