Hotfix Ritual of Summoning asap

Ritual of Summoning is not working as the patch notes proposed (see the sticky: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=14498471265&sid=1)

Furthermore, the single target summoning we've always had also now has a 2 minute cooldown. I assume the proposed fix was intended to save shards and make summoning a little less cumbersome but the patch that actually went through gave us an awful 2 minute cooldown!!! If the proposed fix can't be implemented VERY soon, we really need the cooldown removed.


I'm sure this isn't a big deal for raids that clear things quickly, or have 25 people that stay the whole time, or have ideal raid composition, or everyone has good PCs, but for those of us who encounter any of these issues, summoning is a nightmare. (It doesn't help that summons sometimes are duds, or one person accidentally double clicking blows the CD too).

This isn't just a warlock problem. If you're a raid leader, or a hybrid that might be asked to respec, or anyone that might neeed to repair, or want to go grab an enchant/gem/consumable, or just want to join a raid in progress this affects you! And frankly, as a warlock I don't need another timer to watch let alone a RL asking me about it. The frustration makes the game hard to enjoy and makes me want to just leave the raid altogether.

The proposed change might be nice, but the current cooldown is misery, we could really use a hotfix.
