Trust me, in solo/duo situations it can rule as both cc and aoe master, providing you know what you're doing. It won't stand up to 'real' CC classes of course, but when no mage is available...ever tried?
As solo and duo are almost exclusively what I do, removing my mastering of 'control', whatever kind of control that may be, in exchange for heavy damage...well, that just effectively killed the class for me. I don't do DD classes, the only reason I tried out the class in the first place was its heavy support abilities. Playing a DD-support was a very refreshing change. Now, I'm faced with the choice of playing DD-mage or healer-mage. Fun times. I do neither well.
