I'm guessing you don't play any melee classes. You must have absolutely no idea how much AoE and splash damage can occur at close range. I can't count the times CoS has saved my butt in encounters. Not only that, but it also saves the healers tons* of work. Everything from CoS'ing off doomfire, to avoiding naj's exploding bubble, to remove teon's crushing shadows, plus many, many more uses.

CoS is so unbelievably useful in PvE that nerfing it for the sake of PvP whiners would be a tragedy. I am so sick of seeing blizz nerf the hell out of every useful skill for the sake of PvP balance.

On another note, regarding the article - as a rogue, I think this nerf is pretty lame. I did love going into BG's with my PvE gear and just exploding people with 2.5k hemo's back to back to back then vanishing when cheat death procs. It is a little OP, so I can see the nerf - but it wont change much, I will just have to be more careful now. :P
