Nobody mortal was playing Affliction at all without third-party mods for dot timers, which should not be mandatory to play WoW.

So to resolve that they removed 1 of 6 spells that requires you to hawk DoT timers, arguably the easiest one being cast instantly only twice a minute giving us a grand total of 2 GCDs per/min to use casting most of a SB, and all the while taking a hit to DPS. My affliction lock has his sadface on :<
Frankly their argument doesn't make sense when you look at the larger picture. Only a minority of (regular) raiders would attempt content without, at minimum, threat meters, decent raid frames and DBMs. Sure it isn't mandatory to use these but you'd be at a much greater disadvantage if you didn't. Same with affliction; you don't need DoT timers to use the spec however if you want to maximise it's potential you do.
