Does Blast Wave knockback bother tanks ?

Yo.

After reading over the forums I've noticed a lot of hate for the ele shaman knockback ability. Does the same apply to a fire mage's Blast Wave ? I haven't had anyone rage at me (yet) for using it, but I run with guildies usually so maybe they're just being polite :P I don't want to mess up anyone's tanking chi, so I'd prefer not to use it if it bothers people !

We understand the problem here and have heard it from many players, especially tanks. The knockbacks can be useful when leveling or in PvP, but they do annoy some dungeon and raid groups.
We are talking about adding minor glyphs to the spells with knockback effects. They would add some small benefit, cooldown reduction perhaps, in return for removing the knockback.
