That's what that line says; completely unrelated to what you're talking about. Nothing in the original JP post says anything about DR either, only unification of CC durations.
Are you absolutely sure that this is what this means? I just want some clarity here, because unification is a pretty vague term, and depending on what SE means by it, they could very well be making some seriously damning changes here.

Hell, even if they re-spec all the CC to be unified to the same duration (all 1st stuns = 4s, for example), that still shoots certain jobs in the foot. Pld's wouldn't have to worry about idiotic dps clipping their stun duration anymore, but the bad news is that War would be the undisputed best choice for tanks, because Pld wouldn't be bringing anything special that War's and melee dps weren't already bringing. That's also assuming the best case scenario where they unify stuns to Pld's max duration. If they unify it to any other job, then Plds would see an arbitrary nerf by being brought down to that level.
