Haunted Dreams says Whirlwind turns into a 2 second stun when it breaks, that's what I was referring to.
Yes it does, but that means your resolve bar is white and somebody screwed up. I'd rather have the four second stun after WW ends. At best that add on is a juke for CC breaking or getting an extra stun into the hutball fire, at worst I have to restrict it to targets way out of battle so they don't get instant immunity for one two second stun. For me, instant cast is worth it because I generally don't use it on people in battle anyway.

WW+stun fills resolve, but roots aren't affected by resolve, so the sorcerer can still root somebody even though they're currently immune to stuns/knockbacks.
They are not, but they're not restricted to my class either. If I was a rooting man, I'd be full Madness for the 9 second cooldown 2 second root that isn't affected by damage.

Looks like I read it wrong (it spans three abilities, not my fault =P). Is it a 100% chance to slow if a 10% proc hits? If so it certainly doesn't fit the argument.

Regardless, while a Scoundrel doesn't regenerate resources for hitting Tendon Blast it has 100% uptime and they can dps their face off for 12 seconds before casting it again, all while on the move. A Sorcerer isn't using this for kiting unless they can kill the target before it gets to them.

Has anyone heard anything about 1.1.4? I know there's the UI changes but I was wondering about anything to do with the actual class changes.

I saw what appeared to be bug fixes for some classes. They're not far down the dev tracker.
