I think the main contributor of that 'busy' feeling is not actually the OGCDs themselves, but having to constantly swap targets to place cards, then retarget the boss to throw another Malefic. On controller that is probably kinda ass to do, so I wouldn't be surprised if they made the cards be an AOE around you (like PVP), turn their effects down, and let them stack (so they're 1% damage buff, in an AOE, and one person can have 3 seperate cards applied at once). RDPS of having less % on a card, but having 3 at once (multiplicative buff stacking) AND having them applied to 8 people instead of 3 probably works out either the same, or even higher than now, so potency tweaks to Malefic might be warranted too. At least, that seems like the simplest solution to program in, so it'd be the one I'll assume they go for.
