CC is still dead, despite what was said

Remember when every group needs a mage, or a lock? Those days are over, thank god. Now it's easier than ever to form groups without looking for a specific mage or a lock, unless you way out gear the heroic dungeon.

CC are still being used in PVP, which I think that's where they belong. It is also not entirely dead, you still CC certain trash mobs (banish in ulduar). I'm sure future fights will require CC.

In short, easy mode is easy. Gratz on clearing 10 man normal mode. CC is not dead.

Not many people were skipping CC for Ulduar when it first launched. Now if you're overgearing content, you're overgearing content. ToC doesn't have trash, though if you are ignoring CC for heroic champs, I'd be interesting in seeing it. Yes, the CC has PvP-like DR, but that makes smart CC an even bigger component of the fight, not something to be ignored lightly. Icecrown is a traditional yet massive and epic instance. There will be trash.
