Original Post:

i think most people would agree that the best solution to this issue is simply to have the 41 pointer be trap throwing, and give us a real level 80 ability.

as far as blizzard taking away traps on boss encounters, i find that unlikely - out of our five traps, 2 are already unusable on bosses (frost and freezing), snake trap is half unusable (the crippling doesn't work), and explosive trap is highly inefficient against one target. the only trap we would ever use on a boss is immolation, even if we didn't have LnL as a talent.

so blizz would have to remove our use of an efficient DOT on a boss just because it forces us to use a clunky mechanic THEY implemented? why not just fix the clunky mechanic? or put LnL at a 10% or 15% chance on serpent ticks and take away the 100% trap trigger from the talent? while i disagree with the majority of the way blizzard has handled our class in the short term, in the long term they seem to do alright and i don't think that removing a damage-only DOT entirely is their modus operandi, especially when the only hitch with it is that we have to run back and forth to lay the trap.
