Where's all the extra CC?

The NDA was lifted and the first thing my guildy told me was that CC is absolutely necessary everywhere.

So if I'm bringing the player and not the class or Pugging in the dungeon finder to farm badges, is every single class getting reliable and repeatable CC?

Or is it viewed as fun to have CC Break and wipe the run?

If you are giving every class CC, what is the view of PVP ramifications of this?

We're also changing (probably) Intimidating Shout into a single-target, longish duration CC (basically taking off the fear from the secondary targets and increasing the duration to the Repentance level).

Q u o t e:
These kind of changes happen because we have diffrent people operating the game and developing the game than we did 6 years ago.

Not really. Every class designer we've ever had working on warriors is still here working on warriors. :)

Q u o t e:
No more aoe fear bombs? i'm not sure what to say.. that's really disappointing.

We're not convinced it was a super compelling mechanic. We'll keep it under advisement though. Currently according to the forums every class is now doomed in Cataclysm PvP so it's a little hard to evaluate things in perspective. When players can actually try out the beta BGs we'll get some better feedback.
