But the issue is if it's that dreadful, then it becomes a mandetory Esuna rather than a choice or a decision that needs to be made. The worse it is, the sooner you want to remove it as well, so it can feel quite binary in that regard. The best cases are situations where you need to decide how to approach a problem, such as Rescuing a heavied ally rather than Esunaing the heavy off them.

Or perhaps you include things like Warden's Paean that prevent debuffs, so timing an effect like that before you see a debuff coming could also play into more interesting decision making.
Could have Esuna upgrade at some point to uhh, is it called Astra? The one that works like Warden's, where it blocks the next debuff that should apply. Then yeh, you could coat the raid in them and ignore Throttle as a mechanic I guess, but you're still spending GCDs to do so. And since Throttle only hits 6/8, you're spending 2 GCDs on people that won't even get debuffs, which is a damage loss and that is criminal behavior (apparently). Alternatively, make the upgrade to Astra be WHM specific so it has that as an advantage over AST, and watch as nobody gives a damn because it's not something that increases rDPS
