Removal of Cleric Stance, free casting at all times, and ridiculous PvP skills like Push Back really shouldn't have been done.

Cleric Stance and interruptable casting made casters/healers really strong in Wolves' Den, if they were allowed to do so. It's currently impossible to kill a healer solo unless they're caught with no CDs/pvp skills available vs an opponent that has all of theirs, as they can spam heals very easily, with no skill required, and live.

This could be amended by reintroducing the "cancel on damage" effect to all casting, but also allowing certain CDs to give a Surecast-like effect. Dreadwyrm Trance, Ley Lines, Dissipation, Synastry, Hawk Eye, Presence of Mind, and other short buffs like those would be just fine to allow free casting for the duration, barring stuns/silences/knockbacks/sleeps. Casters/healers did just great in Wolves Den with full interrupts, this system should be adequate to balance them at Level 60.
