Reason: USUALLY you'd want the pushback/bind for defensive reasons, like damage mitigation, but I believe most WHMs use or want to use the skill for DPS. Doing so on lesser mobs, like dungeon trash, pushes them back and makes it actually a nuisance, specially when your partners are melee. Making it push back with Cleric Stance off, you'd still have your crowd control when you're healing AND wouldn't disrupt other's DPS when attacking.

I know there are some situations it would be better the way it is now, like when DPSing and you want to interrupt a mob casting a spell, but overall I think it would be a good change.

Its fine how it is, the most WHM should just learn when they should and when they shouldn't squirt the mob away.

If you wait a moment before casting your next action the knockback canceling your gcd is less likely to activate.

In dungeons, to not piss people off, you use it as a last hit on mobs that it will straight kill or will soon die to dots.

It's completely wonderful the way it is, and can be used strategically on mobs the knockback affects. Otherwise it should always be on CD on bosses.

Honestly my biggest gripe is that the devs are making more and more monsters completely immune to knockback. It's funny when in early 2.0 areas everything seems to get knockbacked.
