I agree about teamplay. But how exactly is being anni going to prevent you from "being CCed to death". The only talent that provides a CC break is in carnage(snare break w/e). I mean unless you had like full dots stacked up while being cc'd, and they happen to crit, then they are gonna heal you for only 2%.. each. I'm gonna guess that you're referring to dying to the damage while CCed, and not actually being "CCed to death". In this case, the only talents that a mara has to provide pure damage reduction is Undying- (Rage spec), defensive forms, and defensive roll(carnage tier).
