Do you honestly believe for one second that SE intended for beneficial effects like Deorbit to be blocked by abilities like Concentration? I mean, really.

I don't pretend to know what SE intends and doesn't intend. If I were in SE's shoes I would have intended it that way. It is a benefit to the person using concentration to be immune to CC effects. The gamble is you are immune to CC effects which Deorbit is.
This is exactly the point of the thread. The ability is not up to par with the other healers. The net code and low tick rate makes it harder to use than other abilities (since player position doesn't query server first before allowing you to activate attacks). AND the ability has bugs and issues. You can argue that the bugs belong in the bug forum, but that's no reason to ignore them when we scrutinize the problems with Deorbit as a whole.

I don't think any other healer has a "pull ally towards you" ability in pvp so I don't think you can really compare in that regard. I also find the other healers lacking in their own right. The other healers don't get a free instant cast by casting the cheapest heal.
Deorbit isn't an oh shit button like Benediction. That is not where it shines. It is to be used to preempt or reset the stage.
Essentially Deorbit is the equivalent of Aura Blast or Fluid Aura. As it resets player positioning. Both of those don't have an effect when Concentration is active.
