Hunters are fun, too, but from what I've seen, they've lost their utility in end-game. If you're just going for kicks and giggles, though, they can be a lot of fun, too.
You sure? Ice traps for CC, some hunters can double ice trap, and they do DPS well.

Ice Trap has a 30 second cooldown now with a 20 second duration, good luck doubling.

Look at the third tier Survival talent, "Clever Traps," and the last tier Survival talent, "Readiness."

Bard is basically the Warrior class, right?..

Uhh, no. Learn2D&D.

Bard plays an instrument, and is for the most part worthless.

Oh, heh.

I think I mixed bard and barb. Learn2D2. :P
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

No survival hunter will be let into any self-respecting guild.

20 second duration with 15% increase

20 * 1.15 = 23 seconds

30 second cooldown

30 - 23 = 7 seconds of ZOMG no double.

23 + 5 = 28

30 - 28 = 2 second of ZOMG NO DOUBLE.

Conclusion:  You have to pop a 5 minute cooldown to trap someone for < 28 seconds WITH diminishing returns.

My point was you could do it. Not that it would be insanely effective.

Agh! Diminishing returns is irrelevant due to the 5 minute cooldown!

Death Coil has diminishing returns and it has a 3 second fear / 2 minute cooldown. :P

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Yeah, but it diminishes Fear as well. They're both horror.
