As far as AV goes...

Don't forget to mention that the FWGY is pretty far away from the Horde towers, and someone trying to cap FWGY only has to deal with the 4 defenders.

As horde, you have to not only deal with the 4 defenders, but if you step a tad too far east of the AS flag, you'll be in range of the bunker archers, as well as close enough to aggro the blacksmith NPC and gang.

As far as Warlocks and fear goes...
@11 Saying that fear only works if your opponent's abilities or trinkets are on cooldown is a bunch of BS, cause in PvP you can expect people to have a trinket, which will get you out of one fear, but you can still cast two more. Even forsaken, who have WotF, still only have two means of escaping fear and you still have a third one. Which you can still chain off a Death Coil.

Even if you don't have a "viable" means of escape, locks can take quite a beating, as I've ganged up on a warlock with a fury warrior (I'm a rogue) and despite both of us beating on him continuously, it still took us quite a while to kill him, and he killed the warrior long before I finished him off.

@14 Fear and seduction being on the same diminishing returns was a nerf to both, but if you think about it otherwise you'd be able to chain three fears, then three seductions, then three fears... Kind of OP'd compared to everyone else's CC's.

If all CC's are getting nerfed down to 8 sec. you can't complain about rogues' CC's. They get cheap shot which doesn't last near that long, they get blind, which they can use once, pretty much. And they get kidney shot, but they need to build up the 5 combo points for that. It takes skill for a rogue to keep a single enemy controlled. It doesn't take much skill as a lock to fear and dot several opponents at the same time.

And I LOLed at the comment about CC being the "least stable" of all CC's. Who cares how erratic they're moving? You're a lock, you don't need LOS to DoT your targets up enough to kill them three times over. But I can sympathize with your frustrations... I hate it when I blind an opponent and he somehow manages to always turn around when I'm trying to get behind him for a backstab. :)
