Please reconsider phase changes that heavily disadvantage players

And that's entirely your opinion. The mechanic serves a purpose, which is to have a certain control over the encounter and you hating doesn't mean that it's broken mechanic, it just means you hate the mechanic.

Similarly, though, saying that it's well designed is entirely your opinion. >_>

You're saying that the mechanic makes us control our dps and the pace of the fight. We're pointing out that 1) this isn't necessarily true (see SarcasmMisser's post) and 2) there are other ways this can be accomplished.

I can understand why you would defend having a mechanic to throttle dps. I don't understand why you would defend this one in place of an alternative. >_>
