@Prelim -

I have to agree. I don't see why spellsteal is OP. It's extremely mana costly (as it should be), and really allows great mages to shine - spellstealing avenging wrath is quite possibly the most fun a mage can ever have.

Purge, on the other hand, can rip off hots with less of a cost, and might need a nerf, although I would hope they would change it to 1-2 magic effects per cast (maybe 1 with a chance of 2).

What I really hope they don't do is give those abilities a cooldown. That would be a serious blow to PvE just to balance pvp. By that I mean the devs wouldn't be able to design encounters like jaraxxus where you have to purge/spellsteal a buff on the boss. If they do anything, I'm hoping an increase in mana of the spellcasts, especially for purge.
