Especially if they choose to implement school lock-out along with interrupts or a global cooldown on spells after getting interrupted.

Additionally, the faster pace of combat makes time lost and time spent that much more valuable. Indeed, 2 seconds is nothing in the current game, but in a fast paced game two seconds is notable.

The OP's choice in words may be extremely poor, but at the least their concerns for PvP are well founded.
That's true. But you have to consider that the WHM in question won't all be having poor reflexes. With a Stoneskin, Sentinel and Rampart up, getting a 2 second spell off is easy if the WHM itself could get in. I'm not saying that they'll be totally immune (there should never be a need for a total immunity) but making WHM seem helpless in those situations seems rather childish. And as you point out, they made implement other stuff - we don't know. I'm assuming that the OP is referring to PvP in WHM's current state as he hasn't specified elsewhere.

Which is why I go back to classes being PvP. Sanguine Rite would be godly for mage classes considering it gives you back both MP and blocks interruption of spells. Interruption will happen no matter way for any mage class, even melee class, but that's not to say that WHM is totally off.

A bit off-topic, but I do want to point out that details about PvP is too little to make judgement on whether this is viable or not. We don't know about the arena size, we don't know about starting positions, we don't know about whether we can enter buffed or not....and those are just scraping the surface. If, say, arena size is tiny, you can't enter buffed, and you start off kissing one another, then of course, WHM in its current state is going to get blown off the side of the world.

And do forgive my own harsh language in response to the OP. I have no regrets about it, but sometimes, fire works against fire.
