When you're playing a cleave comp that doesn't bother to CC it might not seem to be greatly useful, but its actually a very potent ability. It's also saved my ass loads of times in PvE as well.

The issue becomes that we're forced to use our CC's a methods of closing distance, something no other melee has to worry about. It is the equivalent of a Kitty having to pop out and throw a cyclone just to catch up to someone. That is what needs to be addressed.
