Honestly, I think the lack of a simple dps meter where you can see what everyone is doing is the reason for much trouble in these ops. There is no accountability for dps, sometimes you start hitting hard enrage timers or fail cause the fight is taking way too long but then next week you go back and run the same op with a different group to see the boss hp going down like crazy but the dps appears to be similarly geared. sure a dps meter can cause some grief but really isn't it a tool for improvement? You may not know you are way behind other players in damage without it and therefore might not think you are doing anything wrong with your rotations or gear choices.

As a powertech I hardly used DFA in pvp anyway due to the cooldown and that players often aren't stupid enough to stand in it for the full duration. Basically it was only used every other pull in pve to help with aoe aggro. Now the attack aggro's less mobs and typically blasts mobs out of the radius after the first hit which means they only get hit for 400-500 damage once making it useless. Jet boost to the middle mob and flame sweep is now better than DFA and have minimal cooldowns. If they are going to keep the reduced radius then at least remove the knockback so we get more than one hit in.
