In the other message I agree
BUT some melee really -really- object to having it filling their screen, 
and also a big blue thing blocking their view so if they can 
live(literally :-) with single target slow start dots that barely tick 
and channeled drains plus bolts from the imp thats their call.
  Of course they are also the ones usually posting recount lists in lvl 
25 dungeons , oh thats me right down there :-)

  I am also just generally not very good at this, slow reactions and bad 
fingers, but in this case it is a large part deliberately not trying 
everything possible to increase dps.

If it was just about 15% slower it would be fine, but then people would 
complain and I would just want it slower still.
People complain as a tank I am tentative and quite slow, you can't win , 
someone will bitch so I try to make sure I get my POV in first :-)
