Hi. My name is Auenwing and I have a confession.
I still think "CC" even while AoEing in TBC and LK.
It's just that "built in" to how I play.
Just like keeping an eye on health bars of the group no matter what role I am.
And protecting healers (even if I'm DPSing.)
It's automatic.
Whether Blizz keeps CC as an important part of endgame or not, that part of my gaming brain is hard-wired.
And I will still be strategizing kill order before the pull just in case the AoE fails.

There are those who play tank classes, and those that tank.
The weapon is only as good as the person wielding it.
Free advice is often worth what you pay for it: nothing.

Dedicated CC class in PvP?
Outrageous! Why, that's like having a beefy sorta viking melee class that uh is basically added to a swat group because for some reason it can throw AoE CC at the enemy that kinda well, looks like these giant hammers that come down and hit players over the head...and keeps 'em stunned like forever while er.. lightning strikes 'em ... um...
Hmmm.. I dunno. Anybody else wanna comment on that?
Or maybe the concept that EVERY class (healer, tank, DPS) can CC, which makes PvP,er PVE, yeah, PVE! even more interesting... oh.. wait...

You are not the only one.
Several people here (not me) did predict massive complaints on the 'new' CC stuff and that Blizz would cave. Will be interesting to follow this.

I don't mind CC in Heroics, it even makes it more fun. My biggest complaint about heroics (at the moment; this could change with time) is just how long they take.

I remember when
...hunters chain trapped
...druids used hibernate
...mages polymorphed
...priests shackled
...locks banished
CC brings more dynamics to fights and requires at least a minimal level of team work. Most players now have no clue what cc is for aside from maybe (read maybe) pvp'ers. I've met a lot of people that had no clue what abilities their classes had.
It's not just "dumb" dps either. Some level of blame belongs to tanks and healers, and I've seen some horrible, horrible examples of both lately. Of course, you can't correct them either because that's just blasphemy.
