Well... maybe if Apoc was a 30y caster centered aoe... Help tanks w/ all the fancy magic tank busters...

We're not getting a rez.
We're not getting any kind of group or player dps buff... hell THM/BLM barely has its OWN dps buff, aside from Leylines...

Making Apoc useful for surviving heavy magic damage may be the best we can ask in terms of "utility".
