Yeah I think the more pressing issue would be implementing the rule where you can trade bop gear to group mates for x period of time. It's happened more than once where someone won something, was informed it was the wrong stats for their class OR they realized they screwed up and rolled on a double lightsaber when they can only use singles, etc. To be able to trade to someone who can use it when it's genuinely a mistake would be nice.

CC stands for Crowd Control. Whirlwind would be an example. You have CD correct.

The guide makes it seems as if there is a resource neutral rotation that you can switch into when necessary. You'll take a dps hit, of course, but will be able to continue ranged dps without completely depleting your force. Obviously we don't know how a raiding situation will work out. How long will fights last, how long will end game sorcs be able to do their full dps rotation before going oof (out of force?), etc, so I don't know how this will really work out. I'm certain melee won't ever be the answer, though.
