Crowd control categories and diminishing returns

Sleep would be fine if the casters had to wait for a cooldown like classess with Bind, but they can cast it one after another effectively breaking a team apart while someone gets focused and that is where the problem lies imo. Also feels like Silence (which would keep this problem and freecasting in check like stuns) is a one trick pony since most of the skills with it have 1s duration, the only useful one is the MCH head graze since its 2s long and synergizes mid-burst on a healer to stop them from getting a heal off.

Monks can spam silence with arm of the destroyer. Perfect Balance+Somersalt = Healer out of action.

You must be the first then, because I've never seen a monk just spam destroyer on a healer on Primal. My point was moreso towards the PLD/NIN/BRD/MCH silences that have cds and not being as rewarding as other CCs at 1s with DR in effect.

I haven't tried it but there is a monk on Chaos do it and it's actually an effective strat on WHMs since silence doesn't resist. AST/SCHs not so much.

Which goes back to somersault getting an unneeded buff. Honestly I still don't understand why it has a 40 second cooldown.

That really doesn't do anything against instant casts though, as it only silences for 1 second while their GCD is at least 2 seconds long, giving large windows in which to cast between silences. At most it delays the cast by up to a second if the silence hits just as the healer's GCD is finishing or is at ready. In all other cases it does absolutely nothing.
