Just tried the revamped Shadowflare in PvE. The cast time is so much better, but...

- The 33% chance snare from Shadowflare does not help since I have charged clock (roots 100%) and frost (freezes/snares 100%).
- The 14% chance crit reduction from Shadowflare does nothing for me because I have charged fire (stun 100%/reduct hit 25%) and frost (freezes 100%).

Also, for the same cast time, I do more damage with my regular spells/normal attacks. In short, Shadowflare still does nothing for me.
