Well said.. Although I can't help being a wiseguy and stating that when you make use of WoW's focus functionality, the succubus is actually a very very very strong CC'ing tool. Not as good as sheep or sap even with improved succubus but certainly on par with ice block (and arguably far better). Even in heroics you can use the succubus to chain-seduce a mob while you chain-fear another, taking 2 mobs out of the equasion faster than your mage can say manabreak.

Which is of course totally situational and as good as useless in PvP but still.. Although I do remember a duel long ago on the pier at menethil harbor involving a /petstay followed by a few Seduces and a very angry dwarf fading in the distance. Sadly of course, that sort of stuff doesn't work at higher levels :(

thanks so much for this post! it made my day!  and NO, succ CC still sucks. . .in regular five mans it's acceptable, but it ALWAYS breaks in PvP heroics and raids. . .not to mention if you want it to last a little longer than ten seconds or whatever it is you have to get to the third tier in demo. . .
