Don't get pissed yet. These docs initially worried me too, but keep in mind they're very basic overviews.
How it turns out in practice is anyone's guess. Hop on TC when the CU gets on there and find out for yourself how it all works out.
thats the plan... but im not too optimistic right now after reading about pikeman... the other professions have pretty positive changes it seems besides our beloved pikeman

I think it will be interesting to see what we can mix with Pikes to balance ourselves out. Crowd Control kinda makes sense in that we are actually spinning a huge stick around. With that in mind we should be able to smack numerous people at the same time. I think we'll have to wait for further info and aslo testing in the test center to completely judge it accordingly. All in all I like where it's going. It's different thats for sure but I can see it working well.

Pikemen are going to have some pretty good stuff that other professions do not. Enough that I fear FotM.
You'll just have to trust me on this for the time being though.

I don't think so, but there's not really any way of knowing until we see how the conversion goes and exactly what the new speed formula is.
I suspect they'll still provide an advantage, but I have no clue how significant it will be.

The parts in the original post about us being able to significantly reduce a target's combat ability , along with rumours of warcry/intimidate being taken from novice brawler suggest to me that we may be getting theseskills exclusively. Of course i'm just speculating on this.
As for FotM , with the DoT people likely to go we can probably stand to take few more FotM'ers on board 
All in all though i like the changes , sketchy as the information is.
