For starters they need to make the t13 2 piece (SS and CS give double focus) a standard part of the class, even with a decent amount of haste sustained dps is so freaking wonky and I blame most of that on slow focus returns, personally. I just don't feel I should be punished when KC, AMoC, and Glaive Toss are all off CD simultaneously while BW is still on CD and I don't have the ability to use them appropriately unless I'm already focused capped before they do so, which is a lot easier said then done.
As for LR, it's bursty as hell, and it's rather OP for PvP in particular, I can see why they won't buff it anymore but admittedly they shouldn't get lazy and just nerf it and leave it at that. They really should rework it some or just come up with anew talent in it's place....as annoying as it may be, at least AMoC has some tactical usage behind it, LR doesn't really have that, it's just a button that makes your pet do many much damages.
They gave us ridiculous amounts of burst damage. I mean there are so many things we have to do in our opener, it's nuts, and add to the fact that not all encounters are going to be friendly with you doing so all the time, it's easy to get real screwed up, and from there it can only go downhill once you misuse one CD at the wrong time...not very hard when you have 2 or 3 things to use but when you have to do 75 things in your opener...ergh. Not to mention, so much of our overall damage done relies on using our burst properly.
