The Swipe Change

[Druid] Swipe: This ability will no longer strike any secondary targets which are under the effect of crowd-control spells that break on taking damage. i.e. Polymorph, Sap, etc.

I like this change, but I also dislike it.

I like that it will make tanking a little easier, particularly in Heroics. I will have one less thing to worry about.

On the other hand, I am smart enough to move mobs away from Crowd Controlled targets. This makes the game a little less interesting, which I do not like.

This change probably helps me with Heroics more than anything. I hate tanking Heroics for anything other than a full guild group (and even then, things can get ugly). I just feel like I always end up with one idiot damage dealer, and that person makes tanking more difficult than normal. Once I hit that point, I feel like my time could be better spent elsewhere.

If not having to hesitate when using Swipe lets me focus on keeping aggro off the morons in my PUG, then I will welcome the change.
