The only time it's useful is when it is combined with something like Holy, where you are able to cleric stance longer because of the stuns, or say, final sting. Even if a pull is accidental it can be gotten through unless everyone is a derp, in which case they need to learn their rolls better, and prioritizing cc is likely beyond them anyway.
Obviously you wouldn't try to keep a creature mezzed while spamming aoe on them. You mez the creature and the tank pulls the others away. It is that way... That's pretty much the whole point of having CC in the game. Yes, the tank and other DPS have to be smart enough to avoid that creature for a while. I've done it plenty of times in groups. I've also knocked-back creatures back into the pack when they wander off.

I just don't understand the arguments here. If the choice is between watching the tank die a 100 times in a dungeon or using CC. Then you should try to use CC... unless the tank is complete moron who is unwilling to change or survive. Then you boot him.
