Why wasn't Heavy Thrust merged into Impulse Drive?

For some reason they removed the DoTs from most of the classes because it was 'busywork' you had to maintain even though it had a role in AoE DPS that required judgement, yet kept all of the 'pure busywork' damage boost skills like Heavy Thrust and Hot Shot that have no function other than being a button you must press every X seconds, or lose a chunk of your DPS.

The mind boggles...

They'll probably be the next to go next expansion.

Honestly I hope many of the PVP combos become a reality in PVE.

Could work for the melee chain combos at the very least - not so much for Bard outside of putting our two dots together in a single button, and I'd think some of the casters might find it more cumbersome than useful for more than a few specific abilities.
