Honestly at this point, they should just reduce it's MP cost and change it's focus to be less on damage and more on debuffs/utility. For example, move the blind to the standard DP and give it something even better with DA+DP like maybe a 5s stun. Not saying this is what they should do, just giving an example idea. Essentially shift it's purpose to give it a purpose again.
I agree with moving the blind to standard DP. Right now 2.4k for a 100 potency skill makes absolutely no sense (and 1100 extra mana for the oGCD doesn't either).
