true, and i think wow is only going to become more 'I Win' button-ish after wotlk comes out. It sounds like things are being way dumbed down. I haven't researched it a whole lot, but that's the feedback I've been given.
I'll try a Zealot, then.
Warning: Zealots are healbots. Good healbots (I'm Tarish:

Zealots are still amazingly fun, and insanely mobile healers in PvP (I end up kiting multiple melee classes around most of the time, and they just can't kill me, it's lolicious), but you won't kill things quick. Which is why I level with a Sorceress. She's squishie and blows herself up, so I always have something to heal.
They'll keep tweaking the classes for sure, but as it stands right now, Magus/Engineer and Squig herder/Shadow Warrior pairings are a bit broken, and ALL classes have really wonky animations. Zealots are just hard to notice because most of my spells are quick or instants, so the animations usually fit. Not to mention, I'm usually getting beat on and running, or frantically tossing out heals, so it's hard to notice my character looks funny.
On WoW: WotLK looks like junk. Sure, fun for a bit, but... apparently some of the new things are so overpowered that it screws with the whole game. There's no way to one shot people in WAR, and I'm very pleased with that.
