shifting itself was always such a powerful answer to that

and on this topic - a lot of the discussion I've seen seems centered around how black and white our mobility was. Eg, we simply don't have anything other than shapeshifting to counter snares because shifting itself was always such a powerful answer to that.
It seems we've gone well beyond a 'slight' easing of controlability and in a single tweak gone from one buy wow gold of the least controllable specs in the game, to one of the most.

is there no middle ground we could be looking for here?

(ps, any chance you could move/hide this thread over to the Druid Class forums? ;)
