I'm loving the updates as well and I'm a DoM main too. From my experience so far, the MP cost made the battles more strategic. Mages can't multitask much now, but that's a problem for me. It seems to be focusing more on giving people specific roles in parties. When I partied with another THM, he said on heal duty while I nuked; we didn't have any trouble with that.

So far my experience with the game has been enhanced.
