With Shockwave usable and several other skills upgraded, will you still be doing nothing but spamming Dragon Strike? I mean, I don't just spam Torpedo on my Corsair, even though it's by far my most powerful training skill. You don't need cooldowns on your skills to be able to mix it up a bit.
the control portion of it made buccaneers interesting though. The control was to "abuse" the invincibility frrames and remain invincible to avoid damage altogether. now its more like "take as much damage as you can so you can get buff nao KK?" Which is a completely different play style. we have stun, which isn't nearly as damage avoiding as freze. now that corkscrew is just a nerfed version of the original one, i would very much like our invincibility back. I'd take the invincibility frames over the increased damage any day of the week.
not to mention this playstyle is kinda what made it a lot of fun and different than other classes (except maybe shadowers, but they got avoidability instead). I was originally motivated by barrage, but i then started being attracted more towards the dragon dancing scheme of things.
I still think shockwave is useless. xD
