The cooldown reset on A8s is unbearable

2. Someone doesn't hit enough crits in their opener, so decide to restart

If these are the best arguments anyone can possibly come up with for NOT implementing the CD reset, well it only strengthens the case that it should be

#2 would actually be a pretty legitimate annoyance on any fight with early dps checks (A3S was pretty bad, and Fausts). As it is, with many fights while undergeared a single early death is enough to trigger a "let's wipe and start over." Sometimes you should just work with what you have instead of waiting until everyone gets the perfect opener, but a wipe 1-2 minutes in shouldn't mean you have to sit around waiting for Battle Voice or Hallowed. But, never trust DF players to act civil when it comes to things like this.

Short cooldown on the cooldown reset (hah) is plenty. If the fight was longer than 2 minutes everything resets, otherwise everything with cooldowns longer than 2 minutes is cut down to 2 minutes.

Lets be real. The real reason they wont fix this isn't because of the fear of "abuse". The real reason is $$$. The more we wait for CDs, the longer progression takes. The longer progression takes, the more we will all play the game in order to complete the current raid tier. The more we play the game, the more monthly fees they collect. Its all for the all mighty dollar. Fear of abuse is just an excuse.

counter argument: raid finder
if it exists for the start of the next tier, you can start in the middle or end now so ..... progression is shorter now (no need to redo first few phases to get to where ur wiping)

The selection ist just to queue up with people that ara also similar far in the fight. You don't jump directly to that phase. This was clearly said and written in fat red letters in the patchnotes.
