I don't think the Devs are taking the correct path on this. I think they should leave CMs the way they are, with ONE little change.
Make AREA poison/disease just that. EVERYTHING in that area should get hit, friend and foe alike. CMs get to keep their power, but have to use it wisely (or they won't have friends for long.....lol).
That would make PvP alot more blanced (CMs throw an opening volley, then support with heals).
Also, don't throw this crap about 50 DPS (who uses non-venomed packs in PvP? you show me one that says he doesn't and I'll show you a LIAR). PLUS CM is the ONLY combat profession that can stack (up to 3 poisons AND 3 diseases). I've seen 3k per tick stacks on guys, it ain't pretty.

Personally I use venoms sparingly and almost never in poisons only disease. My regular non-venom poisonsarewerenasty enough. Now the only thing we can use to remotely compete with doctor cures and buffs will be venom class poisons.

friendly fire would just open the door to some serious griefing...
You can only apply one diseaseper pool so you can't actually stack them per say, but on a lighter note you can stack upto 6 poisons on a single pool and not 3

What you all don'tunderstand is CMs are not asking to be damage dealers or devastating in PVP.
We want our profession to be worth 169 points that we spend to master it.
Area Heals? Doesn't cut it.
Ranged Heals? Doesn't cut it.
Mind Heals? Doesn't cut it.
Poison and disease in it's current form? You guessed it. Doesn't cut it.
