The crazy line breaks, and numerous misspelled words and typos, make this a difficult post to read. I know English isn't your first language, but I've seen your other posts and you can do better than this.
Original Post:
Spell pushback from a rogue/war/enh shaman is annoyng but i can deal with it - kite and los.
But some more ressisntance to it - like 30-50% in frost would be pretty much enough.
And pets not giving pushback ! Thats horrible for a caster class - unkitable , and unrootable pet - read felhunter/felguard (near frostnova imunity
and in case of felly - can chain 2-3 hits at once) , hunter pets that just hit 1.5s speed with beast spec.
Hunter shooting me is in most cases ok , i can deal with it as i will deal with anything , but pet hitting at the same time - i just can forget about sheep even with 50% casting reduction.

Player pushback is ok (exept pets) but no pushback ressistnace plus 3-4 other interrupts available for most classes is plain out nightmare for a caster nowadays.
It was bad before , but now with deadly throw in the picture , with pet + arcane/auto/multy , with intercept/hamstring/pumel/ww+heroic+auto - one melee can pretty much lock a mage spellcast in a group situation - i.e. where the melee is getting any support in form of nova dispell or a roots on you.
My point is - the current melee favourism is because every melee class got more interrupts available while caster got almost nothing new to stop thouse interrupts
to reach them them. Mage didnt get any new kiting skill(only dmg one , invis doesnt count as def ability) , priest didnt get any new uninrerruptability or kiting
(only more tanking abilities) m lock didnt get any new kiting abilities (felly doesnt realy count).
In case of ha unter - the only way to temporary stop him from soam shooting 2-3 hits at once was removed with removing of the dead zone.
