Mage armor - what it brings

i think its about time that mage armor got a well deserved fix, i fail to see why 1 buff should have the power to completly nulify dmg done by classes relying on debuffs (im talking spriests here mostly).

The buff to mage armor was obviously placed for a reason, to make sure that mages wasnt completly controlled with no end by warlocks like it was in tbc, but i think that mage armor is affecting dmg taken from dot classes too much, and should be fixed in order to balance things out in arena.

option 1 - make mage armor reduce the duration of fear and polymorph effects by 50%

option 2 - make mage armor reduce the duration of interrupt and silence effects by 50%

option 3 - reduce the duration of the next polymorph or fear effect by 75% when afflicted by such an effect for the next 4 seconds

i think the idea behind the mage armor buff is still intact even though on of these changes went live, without hardcountering specific classes / specs completly (which is what it's doing right now)

(hoping that blizz sees this, and realizes that there's a problem, when a spriest is using 75% of he's time keeping dots up you know there's a problem
