I think you should complain a little more about the unpolished, unfinished beta. For every time you do this I'll hand you a shiny new infraction.

I'd give up the freeze shatter combos for that, even though I can see all the whinning already, between death grip and a snare that starts at 100%.

Realistically giving a spell casting melee the ability to do a "fake" root, which is a snare in diguise, combined with the anti-blink "get over here" move of DG is less OP that current combinations in game. Such as the Druid I'm at range from you, rooting, cycloning, lol'ing at you, movement forming away, and casting more spells at range, and then going bearbutt mode when in melee. There's Entrapment Hunters, Frost Mages, and other builds to consider. As an Enhancement Shaman in Arenas I can tell you that without a strong skillset of movement impairing abilities, melee is beyond frustrating in PvP. Hell, any paladin can Justice someone and gg there getting away if he can stick on you, which with improved movement speed and BoF...he can!

As is, I think DK "closing" abilities are under expectations. They have a solid snare and DG is amazing. But once you are CC'd, you're pretty much screwed. No reductions on movement impairing abilities means that you will *always* have to DG every single chance its possible no matter whether you intended on bursting or even using DS to heal yourself. Stuns, snares, silences (no spells like DG), fears, roots, etc... GG on crappy design. DK in BG's will probably be fine. But at current implementation, they are totally reliant upon their allies to keep them in range of their enemies which is a major design flaw.
