Ret PvP Issues

According to some sources, Hand of Reckoning will no longer be use able to kill totems. At first this doesn't sound like a large issue. But when Grounding Totem has such a large range and it nullifies every CC available to the Ret Class, as well as having a shorter CD than both of Ret's CC's, with no real way to destroy Grounding Totem Ret is boned.

Our burst damage is gone. It was replaced with more steady damage. This doesn't sound like an issue at first, but it's huge. Without burst damage there is no way for Rets to apply pressure. We have no snares, we have no MS effects, we have no interrupts. Ret applies zero pressure to healers or casters except in the form of spike damage. And healers just laugh that off most of the time anyway, since they can instantly heal all of a Ret's spike damage with one cast, and Ret can't do more spike for 7 seconds.

It may turn into a sad day for Ret come 3.1.
