Ret survival: post POtI nerf

Hey are there any plans to address dispel and survivability issues for the Ret spec at 85?


The nerf to Protector of the Innocent was quite warranted for Holy and even Prot, but there wasn't much that Ret was grasping on to. I already believed they needed survivability help at 85 before the nerf, and now after they are going to need some major help.

Currently they have a 5 min dispellable/breakable bubble, and a 1 min DP that is dispellable,stealable, purgeable, and a weak scaling WoG at 85. They are perhaps the most easily focused spec in the game. I'm just wondering if there is going to be anything to address that pre release?


High susceptibility to dispells + weak survivability + long ramp up and self healing at the cost of major offensive pressure leaves a pretty weak spec, not in 1v1 even, but most especially in team play.
